Yes, it very good news to hear that they will appeal.  The absence of due process at UO results in random decisions which more generally comprise attempts to assuage potential protest groups than to justly adjudicate alleged transgressions.  There is no question that UO's action caused damage to the young men.  If UO's action cannot be justified by evidence and testimony, then it has unduly damaged the plaintiffs in the case and UO should be forced to provide compensation.  That is justice.  For McShane to deny damage and ignore the lack of due process is unacceptable.
