Steel is the guy who was quoted in the New Yorker article saying that it sent the wrong image to the world for the lacrosse team to continue to practice so, instead of standing up for what was right, they destroyed the team to get rid of the heat they were feeling. Maybe I should have his quote printed up on cards and distributed on this meeting they're going to have.
For everyone's edification, here's the quote and a link.
On that fitful weekend in late March when the TV satellite trucks hit campus, the lacrosse team could be seen practicing for the Georgetown game, a scene that became an endless video loop suggesting institutional indifference. “We had to stop those pictures,” Bob Steel says. “It doesn’t mean that it’s fair, but we had to stop it. It doesn’t necessarily mean I think it was right—it just had to be done.”

An excellent idea. Where I there, I'd help.
