You and I are in 100% agreement on this point.
My concerns are that the IFC is already making similarly sweeping sanctions and that in my past observations an IFC council makes a good component of a chain of supervision, but a poor absolute authority.
I am glad FratAmerica has pointed this out and I will certainly be keeping watch as things develop. It certainly appears in recent years that Universities have opted to either walk away from Greeks or exert extreme control- and the situation at CU will be watched by many I am sure.
For any reading this, the IFC link ktsnake posted is worth a look. I was surprised to see how small the Greek Community is at UC. It makes the number of incidents look all the more troubling.
And I also noticed there was no mention (not prominent anyway- I did not dig into all the fine print) that the IFC is not a University-recognized organization, yet the association via the web-site title clearly seeks to link the IFC with the University.
Again- if the IFC and Greeks want to be totally independent, then they need to do it in word and deed and remove any implied association with CU...
