How about simply baring them from campus for the rest of their lives.
Let them explain that to the next school they apply to.
Probably sent them a stern letter of admonition.
Sounds like a few dozen of those ‘very sternly written notes’ were absolutely flying off the Xerox machines last week.
Double secret probation. AND a mark in their Permanent Records.
“Students who participated in the two later stages of the protest, banging on windows and pulling fire alarms while Murray tried to speak from a different location and rocking his car and injuring the professor, will receive permanent marks on their records, Lamonte told the Free Press.”

Why wouldn’t law enforcement be involved in these acts?
.
Attacked the woman who was going to oppose him. That makes it a riot not a protest. This would come under real police jurisdiction not this phony baloney campus “court”.
“Now, as then, the school declined to give details about what that discipline looked like.”
Probably threatened them with some incentive package.
This is back to the sixties again as the inmates take over the asylums. The “adults” running these mental institutions are beyond pathetic.
They should ALL be expelled, with notes on their transcripts that they were expelled for misconduct unworthy of any civilized society. They should be lucky to flip burgers in McDonalds... until they can be replaced by robots.
First of all, it’s a Vermont college. Need I say more. The same goes for those in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and possibly New Hampshire and Maine.
Secondly deliberately setting off a false fire alarm is a serious charge, possibly a felony. If so, they should be tried for it. Wonder if the aholes left fingerprints on the alarm box and its pull handle?
Re the assault of the professor, make it A&S, assault with attempt to do bodily harm, and possibly aggravated assault.
These are serious criminal charges. Convictions on them would be the best lesson these punks ever got from college.
I attended a graduation at Middlebury close to 25 years ago. Yes, it is a politically very liberal college. Even back then they showed their tolerance by being intolerant in certain areas. This story isn’t finished though, and, knowing Middlebury, I suspect that a student convicted (No trial has been held yet) of assaulting a faculty member will most likely be expelled.
That would change the future of violent protests at the college; It is a very competitive place.
Middlebury is vulnerable to supporters, alumni and parents who will “vote” against the college with reduced financial and recruiting support because of the insane behaviour on the part of a minority of its’ faculty and students.
