Inside Higher Ed: Liberals avoid expulsion; Gays in limbo
On Friday, students at Hampton University who faced expulsion after being accused of violating university policy by handing out fliers focused on Hurricane Katrina, homophobia and other issues, were allowed to remain enrolled. Five of the seven charged students will each be required to perform 20 hours of community service after undergoing a hearing process conducted by administrators.
Despite that outcome, some on campus have expressed concerns that university administrators are continuing to punish liberal-leaning students by placing a moratorium on new student groups after a gay-straight alliance group provided a lengthy application for recognition on November 3.
