Piling On the Record

The Cliff Blog would like to express it's extreme outrage over the story of two UK students who hung an effigy of a presidential candidate on campus. The Cliff Blog is horrified, mortified, petrified, calcified, terrified, ossified, mystified, ready to ride, tie dyed and deepfried.

Furthermore, the incident is inappropriate, deplorable, horrendous, disgraceful, shocking, awful, despicable, inexcusable, shameful, reprehensible, disgusting, sickening, ugly, vile, appalling and, most of all, it violates the Cliff Blog's code of ethics. The Cliff Blog strongly condemns those responsible, and would like to note that UK has hired Judy J J Jackson as "VP for Institutional Diversity". Judy J J Jackson reports that UK has 341 African American students already, which is outstanding.

Let's hope that in her capacity at the University, Judy J J Jackson can keep these sort of shenanigans from happening again. Go JUDY!

Outrageous and offensive actions, such as those occurring at UK, do not represent the Cliff Blog. The Cliff Blog celebrates diversity on a daily basis and joins UK President Lee Todd and KY Governor Steve Beshear in denouncing this atrocity.

But now, a time for healing must begin. After extended meditation, prayers for the world, and fueled by a desire to help lead us all forward, the Cliff Blog has developed the following graphic to help begin the healing process:



I know, I know- it's beautiful *sniffle*. Sometimes a picture can convey so much more.

This graphic is Cliff Blog's gift to the world. It is also offered as a starting point for UK President Lee Todd, KY Governor Steve Beshear, and UK VP for Institutional Diversity Judy J J Jackson. The Cliff Blog strongly recommends this image as an icon for unity on campus. It should be reprinted liberally, and posted throughout the community. It will remind everyone to celebrate diversity and to heal in this difficult time.

Peace and Unity to all...
