Artis should publicly apologize for past transgressions and talk about the measures he has taken to become a better person.  If he's genuine, public perception will be different.  Apologize, say you'll be a valued member of the St John's community, and thank the university for giving you a second chance. I know I'd feel better about his recruitment that way.

In general I agree, but the issue is that artis's "past transgression" puts current students [potentially] at risk.  This isn't the same as if he shoplifted before and if he shoplifts again then just cut him, no harm no foul.

Completely reasonable point. Tough situation. all things considered, I'd continue to explore ways to make it work.

I'd have no problem with bringing him in.

Would help balance classes as well.

Sign him up!

I guess Lavins last hope is to bring in Mr.Marcus at the point.

That report is really bad. If true he should be in jail. But what if its not true?

It seems logical to assume our new Pres. will take the "err on the side of caution" approach.

St.John's has had much worse—and people they've celebrated, too. Does this kid have a history of situations like this? If he doesn't, I'd give him a sec one chance.

St.John's isn't the judicial system. It is the height of hypocrisy when they attempt to be.

The DA would have had a hard time to get a conviction with a jury after what I read especially with her getting together with Joe Young the following day.

Please do tell what St. John's basketball player has done "much worse" and been celebrated...?

Good point, he only assaulted a fan with a chair while at Saint John's. He didn't murder anyone until he graduated. In any event, that wasn't the question. Good try though.
