UConn student rant: Being expelled for serious offenses may not preclude attending another college

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=547&v=ovD178AhhSc Reports have stated the student was previously expelled from UMass Amherst for 2 previous similar incidents...including one where he assaulted a LEO and yelled a racial slur at him in the course of being apprehended for being belligerent and rowdy. Several friends from Connecticut are wondering how in the world he managed to transfer into UConn considering it had a better overall academic rep than UMASS when we were in college and in light of his reported expulsion for the previous serious offenses on campus. In the comments, they have cited the fact he's from a well-off part of Long Island and likely has parents who were happy to bail him out of his previous run-ins with the law at UMass. There's also a side-discussion in the comments sections about how it's far less likely the store manager/LEO would have been as "easy" on him during the interaction/arrest if he wasn't upper/upper-middle class and White. Thoughts?
