University of Michigan Student Kicked off ResStaff for Asking About an Acronym, Laughing at a Joke

A University of Michigan student named Chris was kicked off the school’s Residence Staff, known as ResStaff, after asking what an acronym stood for, then laughing at a subsequent joke, according to documents obtained by the Review.

The incident took place over a GroupMe chat involving ResStaff members, when Chris noticed that a black female member of the ResStaff had changed her handle to “Markley’s BBW.” The student asked “What does BBW stand for?” a question that was later deemed “inappropriate” in a following disciplinary meeting.

Two weeks later, after another follow-up disciplinary meeting, the student’s ResStaff contract was terminated in a letter claiming ineligibility due to a class requirement technicality that, according to the student, had been resolved more than a month prior.

But even in the termination letter, the hall directors couldn’t help but reference the incident, telling the student to learn “how to better manage your involvements and to hold yourself accountable for your actions.”

A fellow member who jokingly replied to the student’s question about the acronym with “bad baby walrus” was also called in for a disciplinary meeting, but was not let go. The student himself was also reprimanded as being “racist” for laughing at the joke.
