Bad weather delays expulsion hearing for student opposing Gary Peters

MOUNT PLEASANT -- Dennis G. Lennox II will have to wait to find out his fate at Central Michigan University.

The university canceled today's scheduled hearing, which could have led to the expulsion of the outspoken student, because inclement weather forced officials to close the campus.

Officials also postponed a December hearing for undisclosed reasons, Lennox said.

"I haven't been notified yet if it has been rescheduled," Lennox said. "I hope the school would drop the matter and stop bullying me."

The hearing stems from allegations that Lennox provided false information to a university official, did not comply with an official and violated policy regulating the distribution of printed materials.

Lennox said the incidents happened Oct. 23 as he distributed fliers for a campaign against CMU educator and political candidate Gary C. Peters, who Lennox said should "pick either Congress or campus."

The university hired Peters, a former Michigan lawmaker and state lottery commissioner, last year as its Griffin Endowed Chair in American Government. He is seeking the Democratic nomination to face Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Knollenberg in Oakland County this fall.

Lennox refused to give his name to an unidentified man who was collecting copies of the newsletter.

The violations could result in expulsion, CMU policy states.

I wish more people would stand up to pseudo “employees” who receive paychecks for nothing.
