Maybe. Student discipline at W&L is a little unusual. There are no disciplinary rules on campus regarding student behavior, except one rule which was installed, ironically, by Lee: that all students must behave as "gentlemen" (the undergrad side was still all-men up until 20 years ago or so, and the policy has never changed).
Anyway, the administration of the school holds no authority to discipline students. Instead, all discipline is vested in the students themselves. If a student believes another student has behaved in an ungentlemanly fashion, a committee is formed and the student is put on trial, during which time he is represented by counsel--often a law student. The trials are public and classes are cancelled so that the entire school may attend. Again ironically, the trials are held in Lee Chapel.
If he is found guilty, he is expelled. There is no other penalty. Most often, a student confronted with such a charge will withdraw from the University so as to avoid an expulsion on their permanent record.
If I were an undergraduate on the campus, I know at least one student who would be making the required accusation. I have been on the W & L campus, and frankly felt inspired by the sense of true natural nobility of Lee's character, which pervades the buildings & grounds.
It is a disgusting achievement of those on the hard core Left, that they have created a sub-culture, where this sort of behavior (that of the 7 miscreants) seems acceptable. Robert E. Lee was always seen as a true role model, in the Southern Ohio culture, in which I grew up; and this sort of agitation is as offensive to me, as I am sure it is to you.
That is a Rule/ Law that we all SHOULD be willing to abide by!
Thanks, for the info.
