Two Students Expelled, One Suspended after Race Hoax at SUNY-Albany

Actions have consequences, kids. Expulsion is a serious thing:

Two black female college students who claimed to be victims of an assault by a group of white men and women reportedly were expelled from the University at Albany.

University at Albany President Robert J. Jones said in an email to The Albany Times Union Thursday that Ariel Agudio and Asha Burwell were dismissed from the college. A third student, Alexis Briggs, was suspended for two years.

Agudio and Burwell were charged with misdemeanor assault and falsely reporting an incident and Briggs was charged with misdemeanor assault in February stemming from a January bus incident. News 10 reported Wednesday all three women pleaded not guilty to the charges.
