Shocker: University illegally emails students, staff urging them to vote for Democrats

It's not enough that academia continues to be by and large a shill philosophically for Democrats. One university has become an official get out the vote tool of the Democrat machine. From the Winston-Salem Journal via drudge: WSSU e-mail called illegal. 6,400 students, staffers were urged to vote early and help the Democrat Party:

"Vote early! Vote often!"
Some 6,400 staffers and students at Winston-Salem State University received e-mail exhortations Monday to take advantage of early voting and help the Democratic Party, setting off local Republicans.

After a complaint by Nathan Tabor, the chairman of the Forsyth County GOP, university officials acknowledged that the e-mail — sent from the student-affairs division — was improper.
It wasn't just improper - it was ILLEGAL:
The university cited a state law that prohibits the use of a state employee's authority or state property to support or oppose a person or an issue in any election.

..."That is a tax-funded school," Tabor said, calling the original e-mail "highly illegal and unethical."
The university said it would try to discover whether it was sent intentionally or if the official email calling on everyone to support Democrats to all students and staff member was an accident. Bill Clinton heard about it earlier in the day and had this reaction:
The University will get around to finding that out after they go out and discover whether the 911 hijackers flew the planes into the World Trade Center towers intentionally or by accident. Oops.
