Though the famed unauthorized rally in the lobby of Beardshear Hall is now more than five months old, one member of The September 29th Movement’s case is not yet resolved.

Paul Stucky, a graduate student in electronic engineering, will meet with Dan Robinson, interim vice president for student affairs, at 8:15 this morning to discuss Stucky’s case.

Stucky is asking Robinson for an appeal after being denied a formal All-University Judiciary hearing by an AUJ appeal board in February. He participated in the Nov. 5 rally, but “all I did was turn in a badge,” he said.

Robinson said he has the power to resolve the matter if he chooses, saying he looks at the cases in terms of what is best for the student. He said he looks beyond punishment. “If a point is made there is no need to continue to emphasize it.”

Stucky received a written reprimand at a closed administrative hearing with the Office of Judicial Affairs last semester. That hearing had been postponed, but Stucky said he was unaware of it and showed up at the scheduled time. Grace Weigel, program coordinator for the OJA, then elected to hold the hearing without informing him of the postponement.

Weigel found him guilty of two charges: unauthorized use of university facilities and failure to comply with proper order.

Stucky said he hasn’t broken any rules regarding university policies. “I am appealing that I wasn’t violating anything and that I was using my right to stand in a public place.”

Nearly 200 people, including Movement members, supporters and university officials, crowded the lobby of Beardshear Hall on Nov. 5 in what was called a “town meeting” by Movement officials. Warren Madden, vice president for business and finance and supervisor of Beardshear Hall, requested that the group relocate outdoors, citing time, place and manner restraints.

In the group’s first act of civil disobedience, Movement members did not relocate, saying they had exhausted the system.

Participants turned in their name badges to Dean of Students Kathleen MacKay after the rally, who was the complainant in their OJA cases.

Five Movement members were given conduct probation in closed administrative hearings in February for participating in the November rally. They struck a deal with Robinson in March to reduce the sanctions to written reprimands.

Besides Stucky, 17 other students received written reprimands.

Stucky said he is also seeking a copy of his OJA files. Similar requests by other Movement members were successful.
