going into the future to make sure this kind of behavior doesn’t happen again,” Bush said. Bush said a supervisor would approach the faculty or staff member if they commit a similar action six months later. The supervisor would explain to them that there’s a paper trail of their actions and would give that person a warning, as well as the opportunity to correct their behavior.
As an athlete, nothing will get you out of bed in the morning like a rivalry game. Tuesday night, the powers of Mountain West volleyball will play the second leg of the 2019 Border War as Colorado State volleyball hosts the University of Wyoming at Moby Arena. The Rams and the Pokes will battle once again to see who is the best in the Mountain West. Earlier this season, when the teams played each other in Laramie, CSU managed to beat the Cowgirls in a back-and-forth five-set game (20-25, 25-16, 27-29, 25-20, 15-10). The 3-2 win came off a career night from Breana Runnels, as the outside hitter recorded 29 kills, a service ace and five digs. This was the first time a Ram has hit 29 kills in a single game since Dre Downs notched that amount against the University of Colorado Boulder. If any team in the conference has been paying close attention to the Rams’ win streak, it’s Wyoming. The Cowgirls are riding a seven game win streak and have won nine of their last 10, with the one loss coming against CSU.

How does CSU deal with racist professors? University hopes students will speak out, starts building a paper trail By Dorina Vida @simply_she_
Since the start of the fall 2019 semester, Colorado State University has been dealing with accusations and incidents of racism, including the blackface photo incident, a swastika found drawn in Aggie Village, the N-word found written in an IM Fields bathroom and Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump Jr.’s “Culture War” event. But how does the University
handle such accusations and incidents, especially when faced with a faculty or staff member’s actions of racial discrimination toward a student? “We hope that if anything like that happens, people in the classroom would speak up, go to their department chair or dean and report such actions and that the University would then respond appropriately,” said Dan Bush, vice provost for Faculty Affairs at CSU.
When the University is met with this type of situation, the first step is to investigate, Bush said. If a situation involving a faculty member is found, the University moves to have a conversation with the individual in question, talking them through what happened and determining whether it will happen again or not. “We could encourage or require that they go to some kind of counseling or mentoring, and they would be watched closely
