All in all, it’s a good thing for the area because it’ll bring more people. ... But for the local businesses that are already here it’ll be hard.” The initial social media reaction to reports of Jake’s closure was nega- tive, with one alumna feeling that JULIET JIMENEZ | GRAPHICS EDITOR See JAKE’S | Page 4 PUPD advises ME professor says he was pressured to patience during funk Asian students after investigation move-in week BY RYAN CHEN BY CREIGHTON SUTER he reviewed.

The students have since left the country, which Mhas- kar said has only made things more complicated. “All of our Purdue accounts have been deactivated,” he said in a Facebook message from India. “Our email is no longer active. Neither is Pur- due Blackboard. ... Explaining everything to the family and friends back here has been a draining and stressful process because, according to them, THIS NEVER HAPPENS AT SUCH A BIG UNIVERSITY.” All of the students’ grade appeals were completed this summer, and not one of them received a single F after the appeals were processed. Jones declined comment for this story after being asked about the recording, saying he was bound by a confdentiality requirement. The preliminary report be- ing produced by the OIE in- vestigation was supposed to be released this week, accord- ing to Mhaskar. But he said he received notifcation this week that the report’s release had been pushed back to Sept. 5.

Instructors uneasy Multiple instructors who spoke with The Exponent ex- pressed reservations about the investigation. The instructor who received notifcation about the con- clusion of the investigation while he was overseas was concerned that instructors weren’t involved with the ini- tial review of past coursework. “Each individual instructor handles situations different- ly,” he said. Instructors ultimately have the fnal say in the outcome of individual cases, Jones told another involved student in a recorded conversation pro- vided to The Exponent. But because he wasn’t involved in the initial probe, the in- structor was forced to evalu- ate hundreds of documents at once when the grade appeals were fled this summer. “It’s a huge headache for me,” he said, and the abun- dance of extra paperwork pre- vented him from working on research. After the grade appeals were processed, each of the students’ F’s was reverted. Many have all the credits they need to graduate, but their ex- pulsion prevents them from being granted a degree. “That’s what I’m really mad about,” one instructor said. Jeffery Stefancic, associate dean of students in the OSRR, said in an email that the cred- its a student earns are sepa- rate from sanctions rendered by the OSRR and the dean of students. Once Zhang was able to see the scope of the investigation and the severity of the alleged offenses, the instructor said in the recording he was deeply disappointed in how things unfolded. “If my kids were treated the way you guys were treated,” Zhang told Roy in the record- ing, “I would not be happy.”
