Punishments possible

|

Brown University is giving the students who booed NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly off stagelast week something new to complain about. In a letter released to the Brown community Wednesday, the university's president, Christina Paxson, said that while "It is impossible not to empathize with our students who strongly object to stop-and-frisk policies and racial profiling," the Brown Code of Student Conduct states that "protest becomes unacceptable when it obstructs the basic exchange of ideas."
