Letters to the editor are only allowed if they pertain to previously published stories. Dean Rose would not comment on Scott's case specifically. The dean also placed a letter explaining Scott's honor code violation and a copy of his sanctions in his permanent file. This information will be sent to any bar to which Scott seeks admission. Scott says he thinks most students do not know exactly what is going on with his case.
Most students seem silent on the issue.
But from those willing to speak out, I have received a lot of support. According to Scott, even the undergraduate newspaper, the Hurricane, has been given free press protection through a university policy. To silence him, Scott says the school even offered a transfer to the University of California at Berkley for a final year of law school in exile. But the determined student is convinced his place is in Miami. It's a matter of principle now.
