In every case, Wilson said, students disciplined were identified by May or by Archie C, Epps, assistant dean of the College, and by "photographic evidence submitted by May." The committee gave all students charged an opportunity to confront May at hearings, and "a minority," Wilson said, did so.

In meting out discipline, the committee drew "a distinction in degree" between those "most actively participating in the forcible confinement of Dean May, and those who participated with their immediate presence and support." It also considered any prior disciplinary record.

Specific Findings

The 16 required to leave the University fall into six categories. The committee found that:

One student not only "participated in the obstructive demonstration," but also "incited others forcibly to interfere with the freedom of movement of the Dean." This student had previously been "severed" from the University, although that severance had been suspended. He has been separated until "no earlier than January 1. 1972."

One student "participated" and "on another occasion that same day threatened to eject forcibly from University Hall two officers of the University." This student has been suspended "for a period ending no earlier than February 1. 1971."

Three students "not only participated . . . but . . . forcibly interfered with the movement of the Dean." None of the three had previously been disciplined. They are required to withdraw until "no earlier than June 30, 1971." However, the committee has suspended these "suspensions" for the period following September 1, 1970. and says that the students my petition to return to the University next Fall.

Four students "participated," but only "actively contributed to efforts that interfered forcibly" with May's freedom of movement. Two had no disciplinary records, and the requirement that they with draw from the University has been suspended; two with disciplinary records have been required to withdraw "for varying periods of time up to February 1, 1971, depending on the gravity of their prior offense."

Nine students-who received warnings after the occupation of University Hall last April-"participated" in the demonstration, but did not obstruct May or incite other students to do so. The committee decided to require those students to withdraw until June 30, 1970.

Five students with no disciplinary records were merely present at the demonstration. These students have been warned that disciplinary action against them for any future misconduct will be "all the more grave" because of their actions on November 19.

The committee did not indicate the University affiliation of the students it disciplined. Fifteen of those charged by Dean May are students in Harvard College, six are Radcliffe students, and four are GSAS.
