Yee-haw!

Rice University has basically told a racist group to shut up and go away. At least that's my interpretation. The Houston Chronicle describes it as "Rice gets failing grade for diversity."

The Black Coaches Association wanted documents related to the recent hiring process of Rice's new football head coach, to make sure that Rice did everything in their power to hire a person of African-American heritage. Rice told them, "No. We're a private institution. That's sensitive information. Go away."

The BCA gave Rice a failing grade automatically, just because Rice turned them away. Kinda spitefuly, wouldn't you say?

And, of course, the BCA didn't just go away. They and the researchers have kept hounding Rice's athletic department, and Rice has stopped replying to their emails or their phone calls.

Can't these guys take a hint?
