Frankly speaking, I was only expecting a letter of reprimand.
Not saying that that would have been enough, of course.
What I'm saying is that a $3000 fine is pretty tough for a few
strong words, in my opinion. Add three months of community service,
and it all adds up.
Not to mention he still has to face his scholarship board.
While I still think that he should have his scholarship revoked
and be deported on the next flight home, this is quite a bit more
than a slap on the wrist.
