Statement on HCC – Charles Jenks
It is outrageous – and certainly illegal – that this student activist is, in effect, suspended if not expelled from his academic program, and potentially fired from his job, by the college’s simple action of issuing a ‘do not trespass’ notice to him. If this is an attempt by the college to evade due process requirements, it will not stand. If this was an act by the campus police acting without authority of the college, it will not stand. The law demands due process. This student may not be barred from campus, and prevented from attending classes and going to work, without a full and fair investigation and an impartial hearing of the facts. Justice demands no less.
