Now we will find out who the real President Tate is.

I hope he follows the lead of UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts--

Sad those protesters and people who support the protesters hate him because of the color of his skin

If he could somehow shoehorn 'we win national championships' in there, it would be an excellent backhanded troll job on the weirdos

Was any property damaged? Was anyone assaulted? Was anyone denied their right to move around campus freely?

That doesn’t mean he won’t say anything.

But I’m also pretty sure he wouldn’t want his campus taken over and graffitied with stupid shite and have employees confronting cops and getting arrested.

The LSU terror lovers were impotent and hardly noticed. He probably doesn't have to say anything. It's been handled.

It doesn’t, but it does make a difference to the type of response/statement we should expect.

OP is saying it deserves a response like UNC. At UNC, the protesters took down an American flag (which was flying at half mast, making it even more disrespectful), were breaking into classrooms at night, blocked traffic, refused to leave when the police tried to break it up, assaulted police officers, etc.

ETA: I’m not convinced it’s worth saying anything in the aftermath of an uneventful protest with low attendance/media focus. If you make a story out of it, you’re just throwing up the bat signal for the actual lunatic “activists” to come to town and stir up more shite.

It was small and uneventful. Why would the head of the U have to say anything?

He doesn’t need to say anything over something so minor.

But he has said in the past that he does not believe it is the role of the President to comment on every little thing, because he doesn’t want to influence or discourage any student or faculty opinion. He wants them to do the talking, not him.

Not a bad attitude but also why this country is in a terrible mess even if you think you are too cool to acknowledge it. You may not have kids but it you do you may care that colleges turned into Marxist shitholes a long time ago.

The guy has been president at LSU for three years now to pretty much consensus positive reviews, but a certain fringe element wants to keep propagating “fear” about him.
