A happy update to last week’s post, replete with scalp-taking (and, unhappily, death threats against the kid who’d sponsored the original motion). Women, minorities, punitive liberalism hardest hit:

Following vocal protests from students, the Carleton University Students Association voted unanimously Monday night to: * Support next year’s cystic fibrosis fundraiser, called Shinerama.

* Donate at least $1,000 to the organization.

* Issue a formal apology. In addition, the student councillor who crafted the controversial motion to drop the fundraiser resigned… Meanwhile, a group on campus has submitted a petition signed by 1,000 students calling for the student association president, Brittany Smyth, to be impeached over the incident, which they are calling “Shinerama-gate.”

Exit question: When was the last time a group undid a mistake as forthrightly as this? I’m sad to say that I’m shocked by how well they seem to have handled it.
