Sorry. Faux courage here.
It's easy to be tough when nobody can stand up to you. It's a private and very exclusive school. They can kick people out and not even blink. Very different from a state school where if you kick the wrong kid out for the wrong reason, it's a legislative hearing and press coverage.
Second, they are making this move after Mizzou has basically gone bankrupt because white suburban mothers want nothing to do with that school for her precious Chase and Mallory. It's easy to be tough when you've got an example how doing the opposite could cost you tens of millions of dollars.
Third, it's old news. If you need someone to be bluntly honest and get through the bullshit of this world, Oklahomans are good people to call. It's the one thing I miss the most about Oklahoma, other than the severe weather.
Here's a link to a New York Times article on the first letter of this kind. There's a jump contained therein to the original letter. It's worth your time. The Okie knocked it out of the park. The UofC letter is a ground rule double.
