I noticed in your article that one of the four people in the photo at the top of her FB page is Black, so I looked up her FB page and browsed her friends list. She lists over a thousand friends. I didn’t go through all of them, but I saw Black faces on about every other page out of the first dozen pages or so. Apparently one of them even covered her face with white face cream and posted her own pic on Ms Shoemaker’s timeline, apparently in solidarity.

Her original post was certainly in poor taste. Whether or not she’s the horrible racist you assert is a bit more debatable.

Let’s say she is a close minded racist. Are expulsion from the university, permanent internet notoriety, the loss of thousands of dollars, and drafting articles shaming her appropriate punishments? Wouldn’t some immersive diversity training or round table be more effective? What lesson does it teach other students at the school? Does it change minds, or does it make people wary of who they talk to and who they choose as their friends? After all, it’s gotten incredibly easy to offend someone, especially anyone who doesn’t know you well enough to see any remark or action in context. In the current environment, I’m sure she won’t be the last person sacrificed on the alter of social justice, and few of us will ever know which of those victims is actually guilty.
