Page "Space Moose" Paragraph 13

The administration started disciplinary proceedings against Thrasher.

In December 1997 the administration charged Thrasher with discrimination against women as per the university's code of student conduct.

The author was sent to a university disciplinary hearing.

On December 15, 1997, Gretchen C. Hess, the university's discipline officer, reviewed the university's charges.

Hess declared Thrasher guilty of violating s. 30A. 3. 2 of the Code of Student Behaviour, and the university punished Thrasher by issuing him a written reprimand that said " We reprimand Mr. Thrasher for failing to treat women with dignity and respect.

In future, Mr. Thrasher should be more sensitive to some members of his reading audience in his depiction of issues " and that he would be fined $ 200 by making a contribution of that amount to the Graduate Students ' Association Food Bank.

After the fine was announced, Thrasher said that he had no intention of immediately paying the fine and that he would seek legal advice from Student Legal Services.

He also stated that he had no intention of withdrawing from the university.
