[SIZE=5]As an alum and previous university employee, I have some points I want to make about LeQuints situation.

As an employee I worked within the Judicial Affairs system and not for that office.

During my over 16 year tenure, I witnessed that system do many good things and yet also witnessed some travesties.

Judicial Affairs was created by lawyers whose ultimate goal is protecting the university. Syracuse is not unique, in that way.  All universities employ legal firms to advise and protect them.

Unfortunately, in my view, the primary role of any university is that of a learning community.

Our nations judicial system is based in punishment and not learning.

In my view, LeQuint is being punished for being honest, where as the complaint is being rewarded by the outcome when he didn’t have that level of honesty in his complaint.

I do not have access to any information that has nor been made public here.[/SIZE]

In my view, LeQuint should have been given a probation and not been excluded from participating in football. That would fit within the learning model.

Yes, I am biased, as I feel this could hurt our team and if he was the instigator I would feel differently.

I hope the courts do the right thing here and grant LeQuint eligibility for this coming season while this is being adjudicated through the legal system.
