...writes a statement of his invoovlement to be read at the hearing, and from there, can only cross his fingers and pray. His "advocate," who will present the case "objectively" to the Board, is a member of the Board himself, and must recommend a punishment for the student. The Ad Board is accountable to no one. There is no student representation on the board. An accused student is not allowed to represent himself or argue his case. He cannot even appear at the hearing in order to ensure that his case is properly argued and that all of the facts...
...does this do? Are these two a threat to the university community? I think not. Have they learned their lesson, to act more responsibly in the future? How could anyone possibly go through the trauma of being arrested on charges of arson and prosecuted and not learn? Is the Ad Board making an example of these two, so that this type of occurrence never happens again? Given the fact that it didn't publicize the suspensions, very few people will have been made aware of what happened to my roommates. So let's think about it--no threat, no example...

They "pennied" out our door so that we could not open it, and stood by ready to dump water on us when we managed to get out. Friendly and fun, as before. Yet the Ad Board found that this action was sufficiently dangerous to deserve probation for all involved. Had we urgently needed to get out, they were right there, ready to open the door. They didn't leave the scene. We were by no means permanently locked in out room. What was the possibility...
...clear to me, as it should be to all students at this university, that disciplinary reform is an absolute necessity. The Ad Board as it is currently structured is inconsistent with all of the principle of justice that this state and this country are built on. If the government can give us a fair shake, can't Harvard do the same? Students fear the Ad Board-they see it as more of am execitioner than as a disciplinary body. Is this really what we want at a supposedly liberal and "enlightened" university like Harvard? In addition to structural reform, sentences...
...anger and resentment it never imagined it would engender. And there are those who will find SI's title, "Ornaments of Society", a lighthearted, self-conscious joke--a joke on all who would take it seriousy as anything other than a shot of midwinter warmth, not to mention an ad-revenue extravaganza...
