Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4697471, member: 40"] Agreed. And on the continuum of punishments, there is a big range between "no punishment -- he's a star football player" and "kick him out of school." Allen hasn't gotten in trouble before, was forthright about his involvement, and has expressed his willingness to accept multiple other lesser penalties as a consequence of his actions. Penalties that seem more suited to a first-time offense. Additional background context is that two other [U]known[/U] participants in the altercation were NOT punished. And certainly not to the same order of magnitude that the University seeks to apply to Allen. So consistency is out of whack, and makes the way Allen's case was handled seem both arbitrary and capricious. Common sense has to prevail here. [/QUOTE]
