Justice has been served in a swift manner by the JCU hearing board. The healing process and forgiveness of the accused should begin. What is unforgivable, and unfortunate, about this situation is the in timidation directed at The Carroll News by Farrell. Farrell "urged," in a manner wholly inappropriate to his office, newly elected Editor-in-Chief Meghan Gourley not to print the name of the accused, William Baylis. The policy ofThe Carroll News is to print names when their knowledge is a matter of public record, as it was in this case.
