"We have written letters of apology to several groups and organizations on campus that represent the people toward whom many of the Warrior's comments were directed. A short, but not complete, list of these groups would consist of the Rainbow Center, AQUA, QUAD, the African American Cultural Center, the Asian American Cultural Center, the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center, the Iranian Students Association, and the Women's Center."

That guy is a wackjob, but his mind is sound.  He has a PhD in, IIRC, exercise science or physiology or something similar.  His views are WAY out there but he is also far from the dumbass pro wrestler most would think him to be.

I suspect the people at this school simply didn't do their homework before bringing him in.  His speech was predictable.
