For months, FSU has held the collective heads of its fraternity and sororities under water. While some may believe the actions of a few should result in the punishment of all, the American legal system does not work that way.
For months, FSU Greeks have been deprived of their right to associate, been looked upon as guilty until proven innocent and have been financially damaged to the tune of millions of dollars taken from them by an over-reaching Administration.
We wrote last week that despite our belief of overreaction, FSU’s plan was simply to “tap the brakes” to get people’s attention and then to restore rights. But now we have learned that as recently as yesterday, FSU’s Dr. Amy Hecht has redoubled her more punitive approach to Greek regulation. If this is the case, there is no reason for the FSU fraternities or sororities to work with her.
Hecht’s approach has been heavy-handed, inconsistent, and simply arrogant, according to several sources that have been present at meetings over a span of weeks. Twice, it is said, she has walked out of meetings before the discussions were concluded.
