It's pathetic the way the University of the South treats the poor locals here.

You see, they like being situated in Appalachia, but they don't appear to like Appalachians very much. They constantly "ban" the poor locals from their town for the slightest infractions, making these people's lives even harder when they can't find jobs anywhere else.

Speaking with students i know (most of whom are awesome, the rotten ones are the "legacies" with the constant sense of privilege and entitlement their Repuke parents bequeath), i learned that they are warned about the locals, how they're all druggies and thieves, etc.

Their campus police are allowed to patrol off campus, and are to me ignorant jerks , who arrest the poor local kids in droves. Meanwhile, the students get a free pass on their crimes for the most part, and have even bragged to me about their "special status" with the campus cops. Recently, two students were busted breaking into other students' vehicles. Why? The GD campus cops were out on Jumpoff road or in Sherwood harrassing the locals no doubt, not concerned one bit about their duties on campus.

My daughter was in a vehicle that was hit head on by one of their student/firefighters who was drunk driving 55 in a 25. My daughter had been performing - for free- in a play at the Tennessee Williams Center. The three other students in the drunk dude's car ran off like the cowards they are.

Was that student banned for putting lives at risk? hell no!

I could tell you horror stories about what the University has done to make these people's lives even harder, but it's all going in a book I'm working on, because people need to know how the wealthy truly treat the poor.

You would think that a University of higher education would try to help make lives better. Instead, in my opinion, they are like the affluent all over this nation: "I got mine. f--- YOU! But you can clean my toilet and MAYBE I'll pay you a little something."
