Smith College Employee Investigated for Following School Policy By Tom Knighton

Have you ever followed the rules of your job, only to land yourself in hot water because of it?
For most of us, if it happened, it was soon resolved because, yes, we followed the rules. It’s a pain in the rear, but it’s soon taken care of and life goes on.
For a staff member of Smith College, that may or may not happen.
You see, the staff member saw what he believed to be a man lounging in the common area of a building at a women’s college during the summer. That seemed suspicious, so he called it in as Smith College policy requires him to do.
The campus police arrived and investigated and found out that it was a student, though one with an extremely short haircut, one short enough to offer a bit of confusion as to the sex of the individual without a more thorough examination.
I’m sure the student wasn’t happy about that, and who could blame her? Being called a guy isn’t exactly cool, and I get a woman being upset about that, even if it’s based on a mere glance.
However, what is the student is most upset about? Well, she’s black and so now it’s a whole racial thing.
As The College Fix reported, “With no evidence, the teaching assistant and residential advisor claimed on Facebook last week that the incident was an example of racism.”
Her post:
Of course, note that she doesn’t know who the staff member is, hence her demand the staffer be identified, but she’s already identified the staffer as white. Nope. No racial bias here. Move along.
Smith College handled this in the time-honored tradition of colleges everywhere. They promptly freaked out and started practicing throws so they could soon toss the staff member under the bus.
The Fix noted, “Smith’s response was, of course, measured and nuanced: It put the employee on leave and will most likely surrender to the mob by firing or paying off this person to leave campus. To handle its investigation, it hired a law firm whose founder has a curious definition of sexual assault.”
