Copies, obtained by The Journal, are as follows: From RWU President Roy Nirschel, saying in part: "There is no place in the life of this University for anyone who uses inappropriate or derogatory language toward any individual or group." From RWU's Papitto Law School Dean David A. Logan, saying in part: "I am writing to assure you that such behavior has no place in the Roger Williams educational community." Students Majessire Smith and Matt Jerzyk, asking students to sign a petition calling for RWU to rename the law school, which is named after Papitto: Posted by Andrea Panciera CommentsJohn | July 17, 2007 12:01 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

What Papitto said is not something you condone. However, lets just remember he said it in a private meeting, not in a public forum. The man has given millions of dollars and 40 years of his life to Roger Williams. Lets not drag him through the coals because of something he said in private (regardless of how nasty his comment was).
