One floor below where eight students staged a sit-in two weeks ago in the office of University of Montana http://umt.edu/ President George Dennison, each student received his or her reprimand Tuesday.
The eight members of Students for Economic and Social Justice met individually with Charles Couture, UM dean of students, and were all given three days of suspension and instructed to write two letters of apology, one to Dennison and one to his office staff.
"I don’t agree with the charges,” said Matt Fennell, an SESJ member who participated in the sit-in, “but that doesn’t mean I’m going to protest them.”
