Acacia agreed to accept two years probation, including a ban on alcohol for all parties, after it was found collectively responsible for sexual harassment and hazing violations. Four individuals, including the then-president and rush officer, received individual sanctions in connection with the incident, which included stealing and distributing a nude photograph of a brother's girlfriend. In another unrelated incident, a third-year Fine Arts student said she filed harassment charges after being harassed on an Escort van by another student while she was riding downtown. Amy Iwata said she filed charges against Richard Clark, an exchange student from Scotland, but Clark said he did not grab her and bother her as Iwata alleged. In other December news, after a strong effort on the part of students, faculty and administrators, the School of Arts and Sciences approved a Latin American Studies minor. A bill also passed through the Senate which may bring research funds to the University to build a supercomputer.
