--Reported by Mark Thompson and Douglas Waller/Washington
The report as presented by members of the Advisory Committee on Administrative Board Procedures Relating to Serious Criminal Wrongdoing and by University attorney Robert W. Iuliano '83. The committee was created this year during the debate surrounding the dismissal of D. Drew Douglas, Class of 2000.
But unlike Douglas' case, in which more than 140 Faculty members deliberated for over an hour before voting to dismiss him, yesterday's closed-door session lasted less than 15 minutes.
At last month's meeting, the Faculty voted to dismiss D. Drew Douglas, also Class of 2000. Douglas pled guilty last September in Middlesex Superior Court to a charge of indecent assault and battery against a female undergraduate.
When the vote to dismiss Douglas came before the Faculty, five professors introduced a motion to lessen his punishment to simply a requirement to withdraw for five years. No such motion was made for Elster yesterday.
