The Student Press Law Center Covers the Oxy Case

by

Greg Lukianoff

April 7, 2005

On Tuesday, the Student Press Law Center published a great article about the situation involving Jason Antebi at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

In related news, the 28-page refutation we wrote of Oxy General Counsel’s stunningly inaccurate letter defending Oxy’s actions was one of the most downloaded items on our website last month. I am pleased that people are taking the time to read this long letter as it helps people understand that this case is far more serious than just an attempt to punish a rude DJ. I only hope that the Board of Trustees and alumni of Occidental take the time to look at the facts of this case for themselves, rather than listen to Oxy’s relentless, and at times desperate, spin.
