The letter to the team would not detail specific conduct infractions by other club members. This would be a student conduct issue and thus not made public.

Per the Auburnt Code of Student Handbook.

Per the student social event policy:

Auburn University student organizations alleged to have violated this policy are subject to review through the Office of Student Conduct or referral to other applicable university disciplinary processes.If a student organization is accused of violating this policy, their actions will be assessed to determine the organization’s role in:1.Negligently allowing behavior. The student organization did not follow policies and procedures which could have prevented the violation;2.Condoning behavior. The student organization did not take steps to prevent the behavior, did not actively oppose the behavior, or has a culture of behavior that violates this policy; 3.Facilitating behavior. The student organization coordinated or was an active player in the violation. Any conduct outcome listed in the Code of Student Conduct or other applicable policies may be imposed upon individual students or a student organization found responsible for violating this policy. Depending on the violation and severity, conduct outcomes include but are not limited to warning, loss of privileges, educational sanctions, fines, or loss of university recognition.

Per the code of conduct:

"Hearings shall be private and confidential. The charging party and the charged party shall be allowed to attend the hearing (excluding deliberations which will be conducted in closed session), and shall have the right to have an advisor present throughout the hearing. Witnesses shall be present only when called upon by the Hearing Panel and will not be present during other portions of the hearing."

No, I think it will be known - eventually. Considering we do NOT know leads me to think there are some bigger undercurrents (lol) lurking. I am kinda suprised that the Bass team has not show their hand unless its guilt members do NOT want it made public. The organization had both student and administration during whatever hearing they had. Actually as a club organization, they likely have a faculty advisor to boot. If my time in Long Hall in the BioSci program serves me true, they likely had a very favorable environment opverall. Again, they didn't have Auburnt senior VP sign off without some major issues at hand.

I bet this org had a much longer leash so to speak - but my bet is that they pulled a Danny Ford, defied - no, thumbed their noses at the administration and got yanked.

Consider it this way, imaging if the football team "violated team rules" and a huge chunk was dismissed. Similar principle here. It is just like when we beat the tar out of South Carolina twice on the same day and Tommy declined the bowls. Similar principle but I think this was a much, MUCH bigger issue that a few hotheaded moments smacking chickens with their cleats.
