According to a press release from the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Robert Granville '11 was arrested last Thursday, April 23, for two counts of trafficking marijuana. The student, a sophomore, "allegedly sold marijuana to an undercover deputy sheriff," Knox County Sheriff David Barber said in the press release. Also assisting in the investigation were Kenyon's Office of Safety and Security, Detective Sergeants Roger Brown and Gary Rohler, and Detective David Light, none of whom could be reached for comment. On Thursday night, a search warrant was served for Granville's residence, resulting in the seizure of marijuana in addition to other materials. Granville is "currently being held at the Knox County jail," according to the press release. According to President S. Georgia Nugent, Granville must undergo a judicial hearing at Kenyon before a decision is made regarding his future enrollment at the College.

This current trend of police being invited on campus is disturbing. One only has to look at the other "drug bust" earlier this year, the recent changes in the Security Drug Policy (involving calling the police if a student is caught with illegal substances), as well as the Sheriff's DUI patrol on College Road (a private, school road) for other examples.

It's unfortunate that this happened and it's possible that the response was a little harsh. But maybe that depends on how much they found at his home. (Continued…)

I quit allstu before I was arrested. It was 20 grams of personal use. The charges are ridiculous and my room was searched illegally previous to the search warrant. (Continued…)

Robert's not really covered by FERPA here. If it had been campus security that had busted him, he would be by every means. However, one of the exceptions to the limits of disclosure imposed by FERPA is that of cooperation with state authorities. (Continued…)

Like "Just Some Ex-Student" said, this isn't a FERPA issue. I've also got no problems with the Collegian reporting arrest information which is a matter of public record (my guess is that the assaults of security officers last year were NOT a matter of public record?). (Continued…)

Yeah, to the best of my knowledge the assaults were handled within the campus judicial process, and I definitely see what you're saying.
Nevertheless (and you're free to correct me if I'm wrong here) I'm going to assume a daily newspaper at a large university does not archive its blotters online, and the names of those arrested and charged end up mostly forgotten with the week's recycling. (Continued…)

Crap... it just occurred to me to search my name on Google. Uh oh... Yeah I didn't think about it but it was pretty ludicrous to publish my name. What gives. (Continued…)
