The University of Houston Student Government has sanctioned Vice President Rohini Sethi for saying all lives matter. Sethi posted, "Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like #AllLivesMatter" on her Facebook page after five Dallas police officers were killed. Student government officials decided that it would be too difficult to remove her from office. But the student government did suspend her for 50 days, require her to attend diversity training, require her to attend three cultural events per month, require her to write a letter of reflection and require her to make a public presentation on what she has learned.
