[NU Sports] RE: Brandon Lee and student-on-student crimes

[Brian H. Winkler]

The issue is one of forgiveness.  After reading the Brandon Lee article, I 
was struck by his sincerity and desire to improve himself.   He deserves a 
second chance with zero tolerance.   However, I think he would be better 
served to be allowed to just re-enroll in NU and finish his degree. 

 Let's see how NU handles the McGee DUI situation.  Doesn't the same 
standard apply at a minimum?

Warner,

Assuming the fact I consider substance abuse forgivable.  What is 
worse than stealing from other students? 

The only four "campus-related" things I can think of off hand are 
sexual assault of fellow students, physical assault of fellow 
students, dealing drugs on campus, or possibly cheating their way 
through NU.  Could you give examples of "much worse" without ratting 
out on your friends?

I  disagree completely.

I feel bad for him, but his mistakes were pretty  big.

The substance abuse I can forgive, but bringing back an athlete  with 
a 
breaking and entry conviction(especially in campus housing) is not 
the 
message NU wants to send out to perspective students.  Campus  safety 
is already an important issue and this would aggravate the  issue.

I agree with most of  the others here.  Every institution in  America 
seems 
to give 2nd chances-(in my mind ,unfortunately 3rd and 4th chances  as 
well--see NBA, MLB, etc, etc) -NU would be  setting a higher 
statndard  by
requiring 
that there is some evidence that he has learned and desreves a 2nd 
chance,
not 
just to give a second chance--Do it with a zero and i mean zero 
tolerance 
level--Heck even IU gave the General a 2nd chance (and he was quite a 
bit
older 
when he made his mistakes-)- and throwing a plate or a vase at a
secretary's 
head is more egregious than breaking and entering--not to mention 
about a 
half dozen other mistakes made by Knight for whcih he was given another
chance
