Millersville University Statement on Stacy Snyder Lawsuit

Millersville University denies the claims alleged in the federal complaint filed by Ms. Stacy Snyder. Although the University respects Ms. Snyder's opinion, these allegations only provide a single perspective of this academic situation.

Due to federal student privacy restrictions, the University is unable to directly respond to media accounts related to the case. The University notes, however, that all of its educational decisions are based on a full range of academic performance issues, not solely on a student's personal website or social networking site. The University is committed to maintaining the academic integrity of its academic programs and degrees and will vigorously defend itself and the actions of its employees in legal proceedings related to the lawsuit.

Any further comment about the suit will come through the State System of Higher Education Office of Legal Counsel in Harrisburg. - Millersville University Press

The picture was of her drinking from a cup. You can't see what's in the cup--for all anyone knows, it was water. Even if it were alcohol, she was over 21 at the time the picture was taken. How could this possibly justify denying her a degree that she completed the work for?

And most importantly: if you haven't even seen the picture, how could you possibly "support [the] university's position"? Blind adherence to any so-called "authority"?

The University is denying

The University is denying this woman her future because she legally took a drink, took a picture and posted it. If she broke the law, I might understand, but she broke no law that I know of. Even if she broke a school code of conduct, I would be amazed if the punishment for such an act is the denial of a degree.
To top it all off, she had to pay for that education!
I am interested to hear the final statement from the University.
