The thing that the Purdue University President forgot to mention: Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, or *national origin*.

Honestly, students need to understand that if they are perpetrating this violence (yes, harassment and intimidation, whether or not it is physical, is a form of violence) they will face severe disciplinary action. Also, they need to understand that they are breaking federal law.

Unfortunately, Purdue University likely will not be taking this as seriously as possible. There are so many other public universities that have better formal administrative policies towards this kind of behavior.

Title VII applies to employers, not students.

These are good points, but this isn't a case of discrimination.

What is it about Purdue that makes them unlikely to take this seriously?
