...passions that presently involve many of us in this community. Correspondingly, this letter is intended to tell you as an individual that henceforth any interference with an individual's rights of movement will be viewed as a matter of extreme gravity. Subsequent disciplinary action would reflect the University's judgment that your conduct had been disruptive of its basic procedures and freedoms, irrespective of whatever legal penalties might also be hazarded by your conduct for violation of the laws of the land. Contrary to what has some-times been argued, this is not double jeopardy, but a reflection...
