According to Widoff, the procedures are designed to be "respectful to the stu dent and a fair and just adjudication process inside University policy." Widoff contacted Grillo, Crisafulli and Tilva to notify them of the receipt of the allegation form from police services. Following notification, the disciplinary process continued with a disciplinary conference between the Judicial Affairs Officer, in this case Widoff, and the individual students. According to Widoff, policies and sanctions are designed to be uniformly applied throughout Penn State University cam puses. Widoff noted that "specific charges require specific sanctions." However, Widoff also noted that infor mation concerning the meetings with the three students, the University sanc tions recommended and the students' response to the sanctions is protected by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Consequently, Grillo, Tilva and Crisafulli's status as students of Penn State Harrisbu,rg is unknown. Attempts to reach the three students for comment have been 'unsuccessful.

Rather, it needs to "ask how we could do a lot more with a little more; how we can change the world, not do more with less." Spanier called for a renewed commit ment to education between the university and the public, at a time when education is viewed by some people as just another commodity or credential. He urged his colleagues to stress citizenship and acade mic and social responsibility among stu dents. More importantly though, he encouraged all students to do more than just share their suggestions to guarantee a strong future for Penn State. He said they should also consider what they can do as current students and alumni. Spanier Speaks Continued from Page 3 Richman agreed with Spanier. "The university has come a long way," she said. "But we still have a long way to go."
