Article here. Excerpt:
'A University of Kansas student was expelled for calling his ex-girlfriend a “psycho bitch” on Twitter. The tweet, which did not mention the woman by the name—and was not visible to her—is disallowed under Title IX, KU has argued.
...
After a dispute between Yeasin and his ex-girlfriend—who was also a student—KU imposed a no-contact order on him. KU then accused him of violating that order by tweeting “psycho bitch” and “#psycho,” even though the tweets did not identify his ex-girlfriend as the target of these insults. He was eventually expelled. A county judge ruled in favor of Yeasin last November, but KU appealed the decision.'

Q:
Okay... Let me ask this; Have female students done this very same thing?
If so, were they reprimanded in any way? (I ask, even though I doubt)
Serious question, though.
