DeGreeff says the proctor's trust must have been seriously violated in order to prompt such a reaction.
"I would never send an e-mail like that," DeGreeff says. "I don't think the FDO would encourage that."
But some students say the proctor's response was justified.
"I do believe that her response was an acceptable response. This dorm has been going crazy," says one first-year, who remembers being awakened by drunk students banging on her door at 4 a.m. and watching HUPD officers force students to clean up after themselves after vomiting in the halls.
"I don't know how much [the e-mail] served its purpose," she says.
The self-described targets of the proctor's actions say they have neither the strictest nor the most lenient proctor where alcohol is concerned.
One says his roommate got his I.D. taken when a proctor broke up a party in another dorm. He adds that another friend was almost put in counseling.
