Sorry, Glenn, I posted information about University of Pennsylvania
disciplinary procedures from a University of Pennsylvania website
some time in May. Did you delete it without reading?

We have reports of a minor infraction and we indeed have a report
that the "Office of Public Safety" along with UCD apologized to the
students. We're all being stonewalled by UCD. I have not yet
confronted Penn officials about clarification and disclosure of
the"internal process" as the Community Court officer called it.
If the Penn Office of Public Safety has an internal process for
handling academic infractions, they probably should indicate its
existence publicly. This is what I couldn't understand.
Why would the Office of Public Safety be adjudicating these non
criminal minor infractions which have been asserted on the list? I
haven't worked for Penn in over 7 years. Does anyone know, are
academic infractions sent to the Office of Public Safety under
Maureen Rush? When did the policy of "academic infractions" start
leading to community service alongside thiefs, vandals, drug
violaters, and prostitutes?
I'm not saying you're not correct about this Cassidy. I'm saying
we don't know. This is an example of the problems that
stonewalling causes and why it is not considered appropriate in the
civilized world even if not encoded in IRS 501 c 3 laws.
Of course, we're in the University City District far from the
civilized democracies of the world!
I'll let the list know what happens when I approach Penn officials.
Sincerely,
Glenn

It could also have been an academic infraction, I don't think it
necessarily had to come through the office of public safety. I'm
curious as well, specifically because they don't go into it at all
dancing around with the "minor infraction" thing. Which could have
been cheating on a test, or it could have been sneaking beer into a
dry dorm, or stealing a bagel from My Favorite Muffin.

It appears we do indeed have a separate system operating within
Penn's Office of Public Safety. ... I wonder if some people go to
community court and receive a police record while others get
unequal privileges through the "internal process?"
