What's more troubling is that despite repeated attempts by Sons of Liberty and others outside of the group to contact Sam Sadler and Mark Constantine to get a straight answer from them as to what policy Sons of Liberty violated at the first sale, no such answer was given. Constantine stated that referring to the Student Handbook (after he used it to censor the first sale) was 'conterproductive.' Sam Sadler was evasive and played dumb when confronted with specific demands for what policies the College used to suppress the first sale.

Now, at a second sale meant where Sons of Liberty were standing up for free speech and right to engage in satirical protest (i.e. the first sale) Sullivan comes out saying that not only was the College justified in shutting down the first sale, but that it was justified based on some mysterious policy that the administration itself still has not specified in almost three months of inquiry.

This is absolutely ridiculous. As maluka23 said, look for a FIRE update in the next day or two pertaining to this. If Sullivan insists that he protects the First Amendment while then defending censorship on a ghost policy, he is at best a hypocrite. This isn't over yet.

Sam wasn't playing, it comes naturally to him.
