I find Cal Poly’s response to the recent fraternity-related death of one of its students very interesting.  While I believe that Cal Poly has responded in a proper manner (suspending the frat and confiscating the laptops of the involved students) I wonder if things would be different had that whole Crops House thing never happened … or if the boy who lost his life hadn’t been white.
