Theft of Suspension Leads to Suspension
Quill, Jan/Feb, Vol. 90 Issue 1, P. 37
The University of Miami suspended two members of Alpha Epsilon Pi and placed a third on probation for stealing 9,000 copies of the campus newspaper that carried a negative story about the fraternity.
After the fraternity learned of a story that said its pledges made anti-Arab comments in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, most of the Oct. 5 editions of The Miami Hurricane were snatched from the campus, said Jordan Rodack, the editor in chief of the student newspaper.
"What would you do about these god-damned Arabs?" one pledge yelled into a video camera recording students' reactions to the attacks, according to The Miami Herald.
The Hurricane's story was based on a complaint filed against the student who made the slur and a subsequent investigation.
Upon learning about the negative article, several fraternity members decided to steal copies, which were valued at $5,000, the Herald reported.
