Though it's since been deleted, the Universityaffiliated account tweeted, "S/O to all those (mostly ladies, 1 might add) who are getting their road work in this am," around 11 a.m. Feb. 8.
After a controversial tweet by the Jayhawk Buddy System (@KUJBS) last Sunday, students arestill waiting for an official apology.
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student affairs, commented on the incident.
This was after students began firing back at the tweet. Among the many was Madeline Houlihan, a freshman from Seattle.
"I am responsible for the oversight of [the account]." DeSalvo said. "I have looked into the matter to which you referred and addressed it."

KUIBS responded, claiming the comment was making a reference to those motivated enough to be out exercising.
Lohlian said she believes whoever wrote the tweet should issue an apology and lose their job.
"It offended all ladies as a whole," De Graaf said. "A person that is supposed to

While Baker responded similarly to Houlihan in tweeting at KUJBS, he also tweeted Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs.

Students weren't the only ones outraged by the tweet, though.

"It has been the latest string of mismanagement in administration that [relates] to sexism and sexual issues, [which] are still predominant in our institution," Baker said.
"Whoever is running this
Though still shocked by the tweet, sophomore Harrison Baker said he believes this type of behavior is nothing new for the University.
Madeline Houlihan @madhoulieh 2/8/15 @KUJBS there are consequences to you saying this and I plan on talking to someone. so congrats on losing your job or volunteer position.
Jayhawk Buddy System @K... 2/8/15 @madhoulie This account has always focused on the positive behaviors of students and that post was no different.

"She was dedicated and gregarious," Cota, a senior from Overland Park, said. "We wanted her on the exec board right away."
Cota said he is proud of Noreiga's perseverance. He said her recent work in planning a Spectrum Gaypril parade shows her dedication to the organization. Cota said even when obstacles arise, Noreiga goes above and beyond to make sure
Noriega now serves as the outreach chair for Spectrum. She makes sure the group is not just focused on LGBT issues, but issues that intersect with other communities on campus.
Spectrum is successful.
she's never taking some sort of obstacle hit her, and she finds a way to get around it on her own initiative," Cota said. "She'll come [to meetings] with two plans that we can choose from. She has dedication and preparatory skills that are not found in a lot of leaders."
"[I would like to do] work similar to what I do with my outreach position," Noriegas said. "Like event planning and doing programming in regards to creating discussions about how we can move forward and how we can talk about our identities in ways that are conducive for the conversations."
Noriega is majoring in women, gender and sexuality studies and hopes to pursue a career as a community organizer, event planner and outreach coordinator who promotes discussions on inclusivity and the LGBT community.
