Memorandum claims three sections of code were violated
Dennis Lennox II said CMU is hosting a previously rescheduled hearing against him at 1 p.m. Wednesday. (snip)
The original disciplinary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 6, 2007, but was delayed at Lennox's request. It was postponed again Jan. 30, when campus was closed because of a snowstorm.
According to a memorandum sent to Lennox from Director of Student Life Tony Voisin, Lennox allegedly violated three sections of the CMU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures.
According to the memorandum, section 3.2.2 defines providing false information to a university official, section 3.2.15 defines not identifying oneself to a university agent when asked and section 3.2.32 defines distributing printed materials in violation of the Advocacy Policy. (snip)
Lennox said the hearing stemmed from a complaint filed by English Language and Literature Professor Peter Koper on Oct. 23, 2007 about Lennox distributing anti-Gary Peters, temporary political science professor and congressional candidate, fliers throughout Anspach Hall. Central Michigan Life obtained a copy of that complaint.
In the complaint, Koper said he saw Lennox's fliers and began to dispose of them because they were littering the building and were placed in violation of the University Policies and Procedures Affecting Advocacy Activities.
Koper then alleges Lennox approached him and "jerked the fliers that (Lennox) was holding out of (his) hand."
"I asked him to identify himself. He refused to do so," Koper wrote in the complaint. "I spoke to him several times, attempting to explain to him the rules he was violating."

I'm pretty sure that, like Lennox, I'd refuse to immediately provide my personal identification to just any yeahoo who walks up to me when I'm in a public place and demanded to see it if he wasn't a sworn officer of the law either.
