Source: Suspended Student: Professor Criticized My Support Of ‘Bigot President’
By Melissa Garcia

DENVER (CBS4) – The University of Denver has suspended a student who is accused of making racist and homophobic slurs.

Addison Puffer, who just finished her freshman year at the university, said officials suspended her from the fall 2018 semester for harassment, a violation of school policy.

Puffer said 13 people had accused her of using the “n” word and the “f” word. She said the accusations were hearsay and do not represent her as a person.

“The people who genuinely know me know that I’m not a bad person. I don’t have bad intentions and I don’t have a cold heart,” Puffer told CBS4’s Melissa Garcia.

The international business student said the suspension prevented her from receiving credits for the classes she nearly completed.

“I was suspended nine days before the quarter ended with a 4.0 … I have a ‘W’ for 18 credits,” Puffer said. “It’s like they’re trying to ruin my career before it even gets started. This is going to haunt me 20 years from now.”

School documents allege Puffer’s language created “a hostile environment of divisiveness and disrespect” among peers.

The young Republican believes she knows why the accusers spoke out against her. A professor said, “this was the burden that I had to bear because I was an open conservative and supported a bigot of a president,” said Puffer.

University officials say they could not comment on specific students for privacy reasons but said they thoroughly investigate claims of harassment. A university spokesperson provided the following statement:

“The University of Denver takes all issues of harassment very seriously. In the event of a complaint, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX meets with all parties involved, and interviews all witnesses with relevant information to help compile a preliminary report. After both parties review the preliminary report and provide additional comments, investigators determine whether a policy violation occurred. Suspensions are not a decision the University takes lightly and only take place when a serious violation of student policy occurs. For the privacy of our students, we cannot speak about specific students or cases. However, factual errors have been made by outlets reporting on this incident.”

In the aftermath of suspension, Puffer said she had received threats from peers who wrongly believe she is a racist.

“It’s created a really toxic environment for not only me but (also) other students as well,” Puffer said.

Along with suspension, the University of Denver is requiring that she write a paper on the impact of her behavior along with viewing a documentary about white privilege in the United States if she wants to return to the university in spring.

D.U.has been in the control of the GDCs/
progressives/leftists since at least the late 1960s.

She ought to know better than to allow D.U. faculty and her fellow students know that she is capable of independent thought.

The impact of my behavior is some "adults" learned that not everyone thinks the same.

I know it's a stretch to think they actually learned anything.

I'd like to hear the rest of the story here, but I'll bet you that the music that her accusers listen to use both words liberally.

Very disturbing. Tell the student her opinion is wrong and she must adopt the point of view of the university? Sound like something out of the old Soviet Union.

While DU is hardly Ivy League, it is this "indoctrination" style that is poisoning so many in government service these days. The upper echelon of city/county government is often filled with "highly" educated people who believe all of this crap because of their simple mind being fed this propaganda.

It's even spreading here to KY. The city mayor is a social justice commando. Hell, we have a city council person who is a member of Moms Demand Action. But, its ok, she says they are not a gun control group, only a gun safety group. (Each time I see her in a public venue, I ask about her gun control group, and when she lies about it, I ask her when her "gun safety" group did its last class).

ah, Mayor Gray. Lexington's first "openly gay" mayor, they announced the day after he was elected. I never heard a word about his preferences prior to the election, though. Also funny, he was NOT Lexington's first gay mayor, just openly gay.

Back on topic, I smell a lawsuit in the works. Damages could be substantial. I do believe if they invoke Title IX the receive federal funding, and if so the First Amendment likely applies. But I'm not a lawyer.

I find it really hard to believe that a 4.0 student is running around calling everyone she sees niggers and fags. I'd love to hear what happened.

I don't either but even IF she did mention those words couldn't you just say to her "please don't do that it is not nice?". Confused
