Caught on Camera ~ Warning: offensive language and content

A disturbing video that surfaced Monday shows a group of students bullying and attacking another student in broad daylight, apparently over his sneakers, in front of Dean College’s administration building. (Franklin, MA)

And while the video is drawing plenty of unwanted press for the college, it’s also making for quick disciplinary turnaround.

Nine students have been expelled so far, and no other students are under investigation at this point.

The fight stands out among student altercations for a number of reasons: It took place on campus, in front of the administration building, during the day, with many witnesses.

And thanks to the video, in which several students are easily identifiable, the witnesses are no more safe from punishment under campus policies than are the perpetrators. Link
