[Vision2020] Vandal PRIDE *S*

[Wayne Price]

Carl,

I agree with you about doing away with football, fraternities and  
sororities, short of that, how about STRICT sanctions?

Currently 2 kids are in the "U of I Wing"  of Harbor View Medical  
center having fallen out of windows! And now this happens!
We don't have all the facts yet, such as: "Was he alone in the car or  
were other team members involved?" Were they sober?
And for God sake, peeing in the drive thru lane of Jack-In-The-Box? Is  
this what we currently spend scholarship money on?

How about taking away the scholarship and suspending the individual  
from the University for a couple of years? Maybe IF the Dean of  
Students worried more about the students and less
about fleecing the University employees with the insurance fund and  
"wellness fee" the STUDENTS would be better off, and so would the  
community!
