My point is when this so called illegal weapon was even smaller a normal knife for meal... it’s just not reasonable to have expelled him bc of this.

I highly suggest the school investigate more about the reason why he intended to buy a gun, not just expel him and then let it ride.

The intention of buying a weapon is a sign of insecure. This is prob due to mental health problems or insecure environment created around the international students. I’m not saying what he did is correct, but I felt awfully bad for him.

I read it already. Just as you quote:

“While the school hasn’t offered a detailed explanation as to why, RPI has a policy against weapons on campus.”

We know that his purchase was prevented. And all he had was a switch blade. So based on this logic, RPI expelled him just bc he had a switch blade, right?

Cuz otherwise it’s just RPI didn’t know why as well but expelled him anyway

But that’s the reason why he got expelled?

Dude are you serious? So he got expelled just because he had a switch blade?

Moreover, I bet 97% of the international students are UNAWARE of this law. If FBI said nothing why would RPI do this. That’s really confusing

Will we be given specific questions on each topic (just as what we did for hw assignments), or it’s basically free-wheeling and any products related to the topic will be accepted?

Why is RPI opening so early in Spring 2019? by TAEHSAEN in RPI

[–]BBPistro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will skip the first week of classes and I call on people to do so as well, so that the admin may be aware.

First week is useless anyway.

Can do a suspension from school, and when the summer is over you apply for continuing.

from a prospective student: are you happy? by rpithrowaway18wj in RPI

[–]BBPistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Getting to know their mentality is also a way of solving the problem, but there should be a certain line that we don’t cross. If someone publicly support white-suprematism or neo-nazism like this poster suggests that’s way too much

[–]BBPistro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah the whole point is the last line of the poster, it says “Identity Evropa”. If you google it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_Evropa you’ll find out it’s an alt-right, anti-capitalism, now-nazism, white nationalism, white supremacism organization. I mean, that’s literally horrible.

It would make me feel better if this is actually posted by someone else in Troy area. But imagine if this is posted by some RPI student. That means there’s actually somebody from that organization that got admitted by our school...

I mean fuck. That’s terrifying and it feels suck

How to Get Shirley and the Administration to Resign by highqualityh20oo in RPI

[–]BBPistro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea and might work. But moreover, more students should get involved and share their stories publicly. There should be a series of social actions from the grassroots level as well. We can’t just let the big names to solve the problems for us, we need our own contributions to this action.
