(cont) l was unable to access the post and correct the spelling of "escuse"..please excuse that spelling error.

 The criminal justice system has Public Defenders, assigned to represent those who cannot afford a defense attorney.  Perhaps the University could (maybe in concert with the U of O Law School) provide counsel to represent accused students.  It, indeed, would be frightening to face accusations which might impact your college education and your entire future. It would seem only fair  for individuals to have the professional support to help them face those charges.  Wealthy students or students with high potential future earnings (such as elite student/athletes) will secure such representation.  I respect that you express concern for . those who can't...the "John Does" of the student body. 

 I feel a University NEEDS a disciplinary system and it NEEDS to be fair.

I wish you well and wish you success in not allowing the past to determine your future.  regards, Gary Crum
