Pace University Students Rally for Students Facing Expulsion

HeadlineMar 14, 2006

And at Pace University in New York, students rallied on Monday to call on the school’s administration not to expel two students for their anti-war activism. The students, Brian Kelly and Lauren Giaccone, say the university is threatening to expel them for distributing flyers and for protesting without a permit. The charges were filed after the two students called Bill Clinton a “war criminal” during his speech at the school last week. “They’re telling us that we can face any charge from a verbal warning to expulsion, over this past week Pace has been leaning more towards expulsion, they’ve been following us around campus, coming to our meetings to harass us, monitoring our websites and telling people we know that President Caputo is very angry with us and wants to take the fullest punishment available,” said Lauren Giaccone on Monday outside Pace University.
