I would like to take this opportunity to express my outrage at the university for even considering allowing Mr. Celestin, a convicted felon, to graduate. Whatever happened to upholding the standards of the student code of conduct?

During my time at Penn State, I can remember several incidents where students were either suspended or expelled from the university for incidents such as underage drinking, throwing one too many snowballs and being too close to the vicinity of a "riot." The fact that the university has not kicked this convicted criminal off campus, let alone take some sort of judicial action, is beyond comprehension.

According to Teaunte Wilson, "It would be a terrible injustice to keep a student who has diligently worked toward a college degree from graduating." If you follow that line of thinking, was it not unjust for all the students involved with the "riots" to be denied their degrees? Were they not just as dedicated to graduating from the university before committing their crimes?

The answer is that it doesn't matter. Both Mr. Celestin and those students involved in the "riots" broke the law, and therefore they all must suffer the consequences. I knew students who were suspended for throwing snowballs. If Celestin is allowed to graduate, it will be a travesty of justice.
