- Sorority being loud outside during dead week
- Eden Jacobowitz, after shouting “Shut up you water buffaloes!” to African-American sorority members, was charged with violating campus speech code for racism
- On the basis that water buffaloes are “primitive, dark animals that live in Africa” (they live in Asia…)
- Jacobowitz was Jewish, and this was a common way to refer to unruly children in Hebrew school
- This overreach of speech codes led the way to their elimination
- No campus speech code has ever been upheld in court
