According to Colorado University president Elizabeth Hoffman, the word cunt can be used as a term of endearment for a woman. University spokesman Michele Ames, defending Hoffman, noted that she is a medieval scholar, and that Chaucer himself used "cunt" in a positive light.

Well, I guess we know what CU really stands for. And I know Dr. Hoffman would not be at all offended if you said, "Hey, Liz, you're a total cunt!"

Cuntybollocks.

Possibly the most beautiful word in the world.

Well I like it anyway, as you can probably guess:-)

Douche Bag.

As a "term of endearment" for a woman, it's pretty good. For a man, it's even better!

splitting hairs (no pun intended).

Damn vs. Dam, etc..........it is in the context a word is used, not the term itself.  Bitch is actually a female dog, referred to as such in mating of the animals during breeding.  However, if you call a woman a BITCH I would duck and run as fast as I could because she isn't going to be happy being called a DOG!!!!

Athletic Departments have always been the winner in most of these type of suits and will probably continue in that vein.  Its where the University's bread and butter is at, and for my way of thinking that is quite sad.  We push idiots through college because they can toss a football, punt or kick and/or make goals on the basketball court.  

Cunt, is just a word.........watch the Vagina Monologues and see what that woman does with the word cunt.  It is quite interesting and kinda takes the stigma from it.  

I don't like the word, and I don't like what it usually means when spoken.  However, I guess most guys don't like the word 'Jerk' or 'Prick' or how about my favorite 'Son of a Bitch'!  That sort of puts the whole thing in perspective, you see if you dont' want someone calling your mother a bitch, then don't call them that. :-)

based on all the facts in this whole CU investigation so far, I didn't really think the athletic department was in the wrong.  I thought it was a case of PC gone amuk.  However, if the university president is making patently absurd statements in an attempt to cover the school's collective ass, it kinda changes my opinion.  Maybe there is something going on here.

I think varsity athletics has its place in modern universities.  I have no problem with athletes who wouldn't ordinarily gain admission receiving scholarships to attend school.  They're not taking the place of other students, they're raising the profile of the school, and they're bringing in revenue - including donations from alumni.  Athletic scholarships give a chance for a real education and a better life to people who wouldn't otherwise have that opportunity.  I also think that physical accomplishments are worthwhile - maybe not as much as intellectual, scientific, practical, and artistic achievements, but they are worthwhile and worth rewarding nonetheless.

Of course, it isn't much to ask in return that the athletic department not be an embarrassment to the school.  But in the case of CU, the president herself has saved athletics the trouble.

Addendum, re: PC gone amuk (none / 0) (#5)

Boulder Colorado, in 2000, amended its animal control laws, so that pet "owners" were referred to as pet "guardians."  Because, after all, it's demeaning and degrading, and a violation of animal rights, for a chihuahua to "belong" to a person.

So, this is the political backdrop against which all this is occurring.
