Orwell called, he wants royalties
The Daily Bruin has an exciting letter about that guy who did the not-vandalism, not-burglary, but interference-with-the-exercise-of-civil-rights.
The actions proposed by the Queer Alliance (Nov. 5) for the student alleged to have attacked the Lesbian, Gay, Bixeual, Transgender Campus Resource Center is to discard him from the learning community.
This attitude is an example of the failure of the academic community and of the community at large.
It is in society's best interest to re-educate the suspect, keeping him within the academic community.
Sending him to be prosecuted is hardly the re-education that serves the interests of society – and if the university is incapable of understanding this, it needs a radical reconstitution.

Fascinating! She didn't even bother to use subtle word choice.
