Ernest Owens column

Students bound to chairs

 

Excerpt follows “An investigation into the Undergraduate Assembly began in late Oct. 2011, when UA President and Engineering and Wharton senior Tyler Ernst asked Penn’s administration and the Office of Student Conduct to look into a new member initiation that had occurred earlier that month.

As a result of the OSC’s findings, all elected UA members will be required to participate in one 90-minute educational session on alcohol and hazing.

The eight freshman UA members — along with all associate members — will not be required to attend the workshop.

Additionally, according to a statement released by the UA’s executive board on Saturday, the full body will have to “join other campus partners to help lead and support efforts to educate students and the Penn community about hazing and alcohol,” as well as “submit any plans for programs or events involving welcoming or educating new members to the OSA for consultation and approval.”
