- "Victory at St. Louis Community College," FIRE Press Release, January 29, 2008: Under pressure from FIRE and the ACLU of Eastern Missouri, St. Louis Community College at Meramec has fully exonerated student Jun Xiao of hazing and disorderly conduct charges stemming from e-mails he sent inviting his classmates to join him in taking a class at a different college.

- "St. Louis Community College Makes Mockery of Due Process," FIRE Press Release, January 8, 2008: St. Louis Community College at Meramec (STLCC) is adding new outrages to its campaign against student Jun Xiao, who was charged with “hazing” and “disorderly conduct” after he sent e-mails inviting his classmates to join him in signing up for a class at another college. Last week, STLCC conceded that it could not punish Xiao—who was put on probation and banned from e-mailing his classmates—for his constitutionally protected e-mails. But rather than revoking his punishment, the college kept him on probation, citing new allegations including an absurd charge that Xiao asked too many questions in class. FIRE is calling on STLCC to end this mockery of due process and to provide its students with the fundamental rights to which they are entitled.
