Vandalism of Conservapedia: hardly an important fact about Brown
In 2005, Brown University's "Queer Alliance" threw a raucous party entitled “SexPowerGod,” in Sayles Hall, a large multi-room lecture hall used on occasions for concerts, and containing large portraits of former University officials. According to some reports, a number of students had to receive emergency medical assistance due to over-consumption of [[alcohol]]. Reporters with fake ID's attended the event with hidden cameras, resulting in footage which was soon featured on [[The O'Reilly Factor]], where Bill O'Reilly stated "You would have been safer in [[Baghdad]] than on the campus of Brown University," and calling Brown president Ruth Simmons and other university leaders "pinheads." [http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/04/27/CampusNews/Chaos.And.Management.Failures.Marred.Sex.Power.God-1880141.shtml?norewrite200605012032&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com] The University, on investigation, condemned both Fox News's coverage and the party's poor planning and excess comsuption of alcohol; a report was made into whether Sayles Hall, with its wood-panelled walls and oil portraits, was indeed an appropriate venue for such parties. The Queer Alliance was suspended for one year.
