Rice had to go because of the public reaction to the videos. Rutgers had already dealt with the offenses by fining him and suspending him. There are no heros in these academic bureaucracies. Too much heat? Throw the guy out. Especially in a State school where politicians can get hold of it as an issue.
 
I think the reaction to the videos was overblown. Much as I thought the reaction to the Imus comments about the RU women's basketball team were overblown.
 
But I agree, that is the world we live in.
 
The basketball coach was fired. The AD lost his job and it may very well be that the President loses his.
 
I'd say the naked foul shooting that occurred under the previous Rutgers coach was worse as it was humiliating. I'd much rather get hit with a basketball than humiliated.
 
I think the AD might have a good case in court about how it went down for him. He reacted to the videos. He took action. What happened was when the videos went public, the public was outrages. Then RU had to go back and retroactively react.
