Another example of the LaLa land atmosphere in Universities. I am not aware if there is systemic discrimination against Black students at Massey or UofT requiring the "fulsome transformation" the petition requires. Not sure if Marrus had any history of picking on Black students. If neither assumption applies (which I trust is the case),  the Dean should have reprimanded Marrus in a meeting with him and the student involved,  and then told the campus that Marrus had apologized and that his long history of distinguished service unblemished by any suggestion of racism justifies the institutions' acceptance of Marrus' explanation of making a joke (tasteless and offensive as it was). End of story. It's not a story about political correctness; its another story of spineless administrators failing to stand up to a bullying group of students.
