Student Falls To His Death From College Dorm A college football player has plunged to his death from a UNC Chapel Hill dormitory. Few details are available about how or why he fell, however he was believed to have a bright future and was well liked by his classmates. Via MailOnline : An Elon University football player has died after falling from a 10-story dormitory on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Demitri Allison died after plunging off Morrison Residence Hall on Wednesday afternoon, according to Smith Jackson, vice president for student life and dean of students at Elon University. Jackson didn’t specify what floor Allison fell from or how it happened. In a statement on the private school’s website, he said Allison had left the Elon campus on Tuesday. His teammates, friends and family had asked police to look for him because they were ‘concerned for his well-being and emotional state’, Jackson said, but did not elaborate further. Such a sad story.

Yesterday, video of a drunk idiot screaming about mac and cheese went mega viral, racking up more than 1.6 million views in its first 24 hours on YouTube. Drunk College Student Wants Mac & Cheese, Gets Arrested Instead We eventually learned that said intoxicated jackass was a 19-year-old UConn sophomore named Luke Gatti. Today, Gatti is no longer a student, having reportedly been expelled from the university after being arrested and charged with breach of peace and criminal trespassing. It’s kinda sad to see a teenager mess his life up with one act of drunken douchery…Or at least it would be, were it not for the fact that Gatti has a habit of throwing entitled a-hole tantrums. Several media outlets are reporting today that Gatti was arrested twice in the same month while he was a student at the University of Massachusetts last year. In one incident, he reportedly called the arresting officer a “f–king n–ger.” Gatti left the school after his second arrest and somehow got accepted to UConn as a transfer student. Now that his drunken reign of terror in Connecticut is at an end, we’re guessing he’ll be taking some time off from school – and hopefully from the sauce, as well. For now, Gatti should probably just get a job – preferably someplace where he’s forced to serve food to unruly college students.

Parental Checklist, Student Bill Of Rights Among New Resources To Support Parents And Students As millions of children prepare to head back to school, the feds announced new tools to help African-American students excel in the classroom. A new parental checklist is a framework that moms and dads, mentors and teachers can use to improve African-American student performance and help close the so-called “achievement gap” between black students and their white peers. “Our hope is that these tools support black families,” said David Johns, the executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, “and all caring and concerned individuals who should be engaged in the work of supporting our children, our communities and our country, to ensure that excellence for all is not a goal, but something that is required and a prerequisite for how we do business.” Using input from advocacy groups like the National Urban League, America Achieves and the United Negro College Fund, the U.S. Department of Education’s checklist includes questions parents can ask, like how educators will keep them informed on their child’s performance, how parents and teachers will make sure their child’s school is a safe, inclusive and supportive place and how educators and parents can work together if the child falls behind. Also released was a student bill of rights, a guide to what parents and students should expect in education: access to high quality pre-school, elementary and secondary schools, as well as universities and community colleges. African-Americans have historically lagged behind their white peers when it comes to overall student achievement. Black students are less likely to go to pre-school, and more likely to attend high poverty schools and drop out of high school, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education.
