Thank God. That class was a nightmare.

This discussion is why SWTX made the moral vs. legal distinction. My head is exploding. Kevin is talking about court cases as support for a university's inability to regulate student conduct (student organizations included).

Are university regulations always an issue of legality or are many of them attempts to take "moral stances" and hold students accountable? This situation isn't like students being expelled from college for an honor code violation--that seems to be a university regulation that holds more legal significance. So an organization that takes social probation (or whatever university imposed sanction on the organization) to court may have made it more of a legal issue than it initially was.

And I think that's exactly why he's doing it - to make your head explode. The vast majority of GC cannot argue back because he's using a lot of legalese and trying to input various standards, etc. It's a diversion from an actual discussion about what happened and people's feelings about it.

i don't disagree with him whether or not this would actually hold up in a court of law. however, whether or not it's legally viable doesn't change the fact that it's morally wrong. you guys are arguing two different things.

I'm totally working on a Con Law final right now, and I'll definitely agree with you there!
