You would think the Mainstream Media would jump at the opportune story of a Florida university staff talking about supporting the Islamic terrorists of ISIS, wouldn’t you?
That has not been the experience of Laura Loomer a senior majoring in communications at Barry University. Ms. Loomer participated in a Project Veritas sting exposing the existence of ISIS sympathies at Barry U.
Barry U suspended Ms. Loomer in her senior year for violating the university’s code of conduct this was closely followed quickly by one of the Barry U staff caught in the sting is trying to have Loomer arrested for violating his privacy – poor staff member. He didn’t want the public to know he was NOT condemning Islamic terrorism as executed by ISIS.
Jim Kouri quotes an email sent by Barry U’s Maria Alvarez, the university’s associate vice president and dean of students which says:
"Members of the campus community must act out of mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust." It also asserts that "enrollment at the school presumes an obligation on the part of the student to act at all times in a manner compatible with the university's purpose, processes and functions." (Quote is found in Jim Kouri report which will be cross posted below)
This has to make one wonder: Does Barry University “purpose, processes and functions” punish their students for exercising their 1st Amendment Rights of Free Speech and a Free Press? OR are the Barry U staff so embarrassed about getting caught with their hands in Multicultural Diversity cookie jar of not blinking from the pursuit of university approved clubs that promote purpose, processes and functions of ISIS?

Following a similar shocking video at Cornell University released by James O'Keefe last week, Barry University officials in Florida also sanction a pro-ISIS club with the stated goal of sending material support to ISIS. The only suggestion by Barry officials was to change the name of the club "because technically our country is at war with ISIS."

A student who considers herself a fledgling journalist attending Florida's Barry University helped conservative activist and photojournalist James O’Keefe to secretly videotape members of the university staff who are allegedly supporting a Muslim terrorist organization. The video reveals that the staff members, including faculty, were discussing how they could offer material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). But shockingly it is the student who could be charged criminally, according to news sources on Friday.
The student, 20-year-old Laura Loomer, is a Barry University senior majoring in communications who was assisting O’Keefe’s investigative journalism organization, known as Project Veritas. Loomer aided O'Keefe by attending a meeting and surreptitiously videotaping staff members at Barry discussing how to start a pro-ISIS organization to combat what's been referred to on many of the nation's university campuses as "U.S. anti-Islamic propaganda."
During the controversial video, a Barry staff member is seen and heard suggesting that they alter the group’s name due to the U.S. being at war with ISIS. The University's administration is arguing that an assertion that anybody at the school backs Islamic terrorism is absurd. They also claim that it is the staff members who are the victims of deception and that O'Keefe edited his videotaped expose` in order to mislead the viewers.
Meanwhile, Loomer was sent an email by Maria Alvarez, the university’s associate vice president and dean of students, saying that Loomer is suspended over allegations that her reporting of a suspected criminal conspiracy actually violated Barry University's "sacred" Code of Conduct. Barry University is known for having basketball great Shaquille O'Neal as an alumnus. O'Neal was a criminal justice major and graduated with a Bachelor of Science.
“In response to complaints filed by members of the University community on Wednesday, April 3, and received by my office this morning, April 6, 2015, your alleged actions were the cause root of disruption of the University community and the creation of a hostile environment for members of the University staff,” the emailed notice of suspension stated. “Because these alleged actions violate Barry University's Code of Conduct, effective immediately you are placed on Interim Suspension from Barry University.”
Dean Alvarez then quoted Barry University's Code of Conduct which states: "Members of the campus community must act out of mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust." It also asserts that "enrollment at the school presumes an obligation on the part of the student to act at all times in a manner compatible with the university's purpose, processes and functions."
Despite Loomer being suspended and declared persona non grata on Barry’s campus for her helping to create the revealing and disturbing video, one of the staff members claims the video violated Florida criminal law governing the recording of conversations. According to the criminal complaint, the complainant discovered that he was recorded prior to O'Keefe releasing the video, and that he personally notified Loomer that she could not release it without his consent. When he found out the video was released and included him in it he ran to the police.
"Here's a guy on a university campus who may actually support the diabolical terrorists in ISIS suddenly running to the police because he was videotaped at a meeting in which they may have been conspiring to help the murderous Islamists," said Karl Loggenfeld, a former campus police chief. "What should be happening is the cops should be investigating the university staff," he added.
James O'Keefe is best remembered for "blowing the lid off" ACORN, an organization for which Barack Obama worked as a community organizer. O'Keefe, along with Hannah Giles, the daughter of radio talk show host and columnist Doug Giles, helped to expose widespread corruption by an organization that received large amounts of taxpayer money while being involved in fraud and abuse.
