Posting signs about
other classmates
An MSI student admitted to posting offensive signs about two
of his fellow classmates on common bulletin boards in the Medical School. A jury was called and heard from the student
who placed the signs as well as the students who were depicted on them. The jury submitted the following
recommendations to the Dean for Student Affairs:
- The
student who posted the posters should publicly apologize to the students
depicted on the posters.
- The
student should start an arbitration process at the medical school to help
students resolve issues without the intervention of the administration or
SCAIP.
- The
student should give a speech about professionalism to the entering class
each year until he graduates.
- The
student should talk to his classmates about the negative consequences of
emailing or posting insulting information about classmates.
- Information
about the incident should remain in the student’s file but not be included
in his blue book letter.
