How much longer will people still write, and the RG  still publish, the claim that this was   "a private Halloween party?"  Mr. Urhausen himself would have been welcome had he come with a student or friend.
 Clearly it was very open, a virtual extension  of her class-- Prof. Schurtz officially and enthusiastically invited all her students and their friends, in fact some  students felt it was  an obligation  to attend and behave politely, thus their failure to register their concerns at the party itself.

I agree with Mr. Crum, that we've had too much " self-righteous piousness" which has caused even more divisiveness -- yes, it's time for all these one-sided,  nasty attacks on the UO  or Schurtz to cease as we look for ways to move on and achieve reconciliation.  
I'd like see Prof. Shurtz back in the classroom Jan. 9; an apology from the UO for making a bad scene worse; and a representative panel discussion with the NAACP on what it's really like being black in Eugene today.
