Demands for Due Process for UMass Amherst Alleged Rioters
UMass Amherst students deserve due process, writes "SJ Port" in a letter to the editor in the Daily Collegian:
"When a student commits a crime on campus, he is arrested and charged with a crime. His room is possibly searched, his belongings confiscated.

The accused is shunned by the University administration, exiled from school and barred from an education..."
Is it happening to these guys?
