(1) Pope Benedict we still need you!
(2) Same on you, DePaul University!
Should have been: (2) Shame on you, DePaul University!

So... when they gave the names away, what did they expect? I believe the old adage is "A secret told to another is no longer a secret." The University is blaming the student for their own failure... assuming this was supposed to be private info to begin with.
As an aside: No word in the article as to whether the actual vandals could be expelled - only that the victim is now being threatened with expulsion.

We have relatives from DePaul. It is a collectivist/islamist seedbed.
Different state entirely, I know, but what do you wanna bet the administration and faculty at DePaul were nodding in approval when the Journal News mapped out all the pistol permit holders in two counties north of NYC? If you had been there in those hallowed halls, you probably would've felt like you were trapped on a whole dashboard full of those stupid nodding dog toys. B***ards.
People are not punished for what they do, but for their views.
Did the vandals get punished?? IF NOT -- FU DePaul
On Feb. 5 the national Young Americans for Freedom organization posted the names of the vandals on their website. The posting generated negative comments directed at the vandals and the university held Del Campo responsible.
The universitys public safety department launched an investigation and eventually identified 13 students who confessed to the crime. Those names were then released by the university to Del Campo.
The thirteen students that confessed to the crime vandalism and destruction of private property have no right to expect that their names would be kept confidential. When one commits a crime one should expect notoriety when their commission of the crime is discovered.
The college administration released the names for all intents and purposes they published the names of the perpetrators and any undesirable consequences of that act can be laid at their feet.
The YAF acted as could be expected. Any claims that they acted inappropriately is facetious on its face.
Criminals have can have no right to have their criminal acts kept secret by anyone.
Here is an excellent commentary on the event:

To give you an idea how the left thinks:
“I had planned on ending this blog entry right there. Then I read to the bottom of the page, to the comments, where “Maria” had posted a reply arguing that removing the flags was also an act of free speech.
“I would just like to point out that taking down the flags was just as much of an act of freedom of speech as putting them up were. I think for a man (Kris) to push his views on a college campus, where many women do not believe a man has any right to say one way or another what to do with their bodies, he got what he deserved. The students showed their right to activism in the opposite but same way as the DePaul YAF chapter did. They made a bold statement by putting those flags up, and a bold statement was made in return by taking them down. It [may] have upset YAF, but that was in no way shape or form vandalism. Vandalism at DePaul is detrimental damage to any building or piece of property. The flags were on school property but not a part of the school’s property, and they were not shredded to pieces, they were simply thrown in the trash by students making a statement just like YAF was. To have students punished for making the same but opposite statement as YAF would be destructive to the college atmosphere, and how we are encouraged to question, think, and grow here has young adults. Nobody made a big fuss when they were put up, there should certainly not be a fuss made because someone made their own statement by taking them down.”
