Condemnation for insensitivity is fine. Social probation ain't.
(in a world where the University refused to overstep, that is). As it is, the chapter seems to be trying to smooth over their public image and take corrective action because they want to appear sensitive to how outsiders perceive them.
I don't think social probation which was initiated just a few weeks before finals is really that big a deal.
