Complete Final Report on L'Affaire Sh!^bag

A full copy of the WSU Center for Human Rights on the complaint brought by WSU College Republican Dan Ryder against Professor John Streamas for his use of a racial epithet at the WSU CR border fence demonstration on November 2 can be found here.

The Good:

  • The WSU College Republicans are not held responsible for anything.

  • The door seems to be left open for further disciplinary action by the Provost, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and the Chair of the CES Department (yeah, right)


  • The Bad:

  • A prior "warning" by the WSU administration about negative reactions to the fence seems to justify the actions of Streamas and others. Talk about a chilling effect on free speech.

  • There is apparently no way, according to Washington State University, to either discriminate against or intimidate a white person. They have just set back race relations a hundred years or more.


  • The Ugly:

  • An unrepentant Streamas is free to continue practicing his brand of hate, discrimination, and intolerance on campus. In fact, as the report shows, he further denigrated Ryder by calling him a "little hurt white boy whose [sic] got all his white skinned privilege."
