There were no joke... one friend asked the other in southern accent "do you want some grit?".  The girl was mos likely doing false reporting. And you see the college ended up paying for an agreement basically because they knew it would be bad PR.

Except in this case there wasn't even a joke.

And the criticism is against the employeer behavior on it.

Thats a policy issue.  In other words, if someone makes a complaint, the due process would be to validate if the complaint is correct.  If someone makes a false complaint, then that person should be fired.  Just like making a false fire alarm.

And that is the problem and criticism... there wasn't due process. The guy was immediately fired.
