It is *entirely* possible that both the President of the University of Oklahoma and the National President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon may be found to have taken actions which will ultimately when everything legal is straightened out, be found to be overreactions.

*However*, for University of Oklahoma, even *if* the University is ultimately found to unreasonably broken the housing contracts both with OU SAE and with the individual brothers *and* to have unreasonably expelled the two students without investigations, it will still be *cheaper* for the University to have done so in terms of losses to the school in reputation.

*Similarly*, even if Sigma Alpha Epsilon ultimately decides at their convention to not revoke the charter, from a *reputation* standpoint, the kneejerk reaction probably was the best thing for the Fraternity.
