George Washington University President Steven Knapp has no plans to take disciplinary action against a group of students involved in an anti-Muslim flier hoax, a university spokeswoman said yesterday.
"We have established judicial policies and procedures," university spokeswoman Tracy Schario said. "I am confident that President Knapp will let them take their course."
However, Mr. Knapp "reserves the right to intervene" in the university's student-judicial process, she said.
Graduate student Adam Kokesh and senior Brian Tierney with five other students took responsibility Tuesday for the fliers, which contained the phrase "Hate Muslims? So Do We!" The students said the posters were "creative political action" to draw attention to the upcoming Islamo-Facism Awareness Week starting Oct. 22.
Jason Mattera, spokesman for the national conservative group Young America's Foundation said Mr. Knapp's inaction shows political bias and is unfair to the campus chapter of the group, whose name was inserted the fliers.
"He's going to expose himself as a liar," Mr. Mattera said. "When it first emerged, he said we're not going to tolerate it. Now that it turns out it's liberals he's going to show where his political views lie."
Mr. Knapp sent a letter to the group yesterday stating the issue would be dealt with in a "fair and thorough manner."
The group's president, Ron Robinson, asked Mr. Knapp on Wednesday to expel the seven students who admitted posting hundreds of anti-Muslim fliers around the Foggy Bottom campus.

Ok, I guess I’m really not.
You expected anything else?
Liberals are allowed to do and say anything they want.
If you find somebody that doesn’t accept this, show them this article.
Suprised they didn’t discipline YAF for incitement to fraud.
Perhaps the upcoming Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week should include speakers on Liberal-fascism.
What a hypocrite! Knapp was ready string up this Conservative group the other day until he found out that it was some of his looney-left students who actually distributed the fliers. Now, he doesn’t want to do anything to the real culprits. Bah!
The kids should just go ahead and hold the Islamo-Facism Awareness Week.

Guess they will just have to sue them and the university.
This is an awesome and epic display of hypocrisy. It can only help to expose the left and turn folks to our side.
Sounds like hate speech to me.
Can those hoaxers.
We need some students to claim they were irreparably harmed by these faked flyers.
Just leftistas....why so surprised?????
Well, this Knapp dude has a way to go before he’ll be in the same class as Brodhead at Duke, but he’s off to a great start.
Doesn’t pass the inversion or symmetry test, does it?
Liberal filth.
Or did I just miss it?
“Just leftistas....why so surprised?????”
I forgot the /s tag. The hypocrisy of liberals is just something that’s expected and, sadly, pretty much accepted by too many.
So, the GWU president is saying the fliers were “fake but accurate.”
Will you hush? You don’t want to give the libs any ideas.
