You cut off the video before the motion to request mediation between the CSA and the CT. That's interesting, in light of the fact that the CT and EMCVT have rejected CSA's request to engage in mediation.

VTU get your source right "Ring Ring Ring Banana Rape" is from the Opie and Anthony Show not 4 chan. Here's a problem with your thinking if offensive comments cause violence then why hasn't GTA or the O and A show caused violence. It's an illogical thought to assume offensive comments leads to violence perpetrated by the individuals that comment and that if you remove that you remove the violence. You're sacrificing a little freedom for the illusion of security. Sound familiar I'm willing to bet everyone that was arguing against the first amendment also fought the Patriot Act, hypocrites.

I completely disagree with the statement that this is not censorship. By commenting anonymously, as I am now, I feel that I can speak my mind without fear of retort from faculty or administration. There is a big difference between someone posting stupid comments and physical violence. VTU would be absolutely foolish to pull all advertising as that is how 99% of off campus students learn about VTU events.

Surprised that "mediation"'s comment wasn't buried for moderation.
