In the wake of campus financial scandals such as the Hasty Pudding theft, in which Randy J. Gomes and Suzanne M. Pomey recently pled guilty to embezzling almost $100,000 from the organization, College administrators have sought new ways to keep tabs on student group spending.
Last Friday, Randy J. Gomes and Suzanne M. Pomey, members of the Class of 2002, pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $100,000 from the Hasty Pudding Theatricals organization, after originally maintaining their innocence. Judge Peter Agnes is now deciding whether to accept their pleas.
Allowing Gomes and Pomey this escape would be a judicial farce—a denial of the basic idea that felony larceny carries long-term consequences. The punishment for their admitted theft must be more permanent than repayment of the stolen funds and two years’ probation. The prosecutor?...
But, unlike the case of alleged financial improprieties in the Hasty Pudding Theatricals two years ago, Delawala said he did not believe that Das improperly took funds from The Crimson or committed any criminal acts.
Similarly, Cashman described the adverse effects the case has had on Gomes’ life. He said Gomes’ father, who is an educator, and his mother, a former employee of the telephone company, had to refinance their home to pay back the Pudding.
