Scharf now intends to file a civil suit ...

Wow. If the Borough settles or loses Scharf's suit (and I have no way at present of determining how likely that is) then in my opinion the University should reduce it's voluntary contribution to the Borough by the same amount. Of course that will never happen, but I can guarantee you that we would never see any more specious lawsuits against the eating clubs if the U. showed any backbone in standing up for us. heck, if the U. showed any intention of protecting its students when they're harassed by the Borough we wouldn't see the Borough suing us when it has no evidence.
The title for this article implies that the charges haven't been dropped yet
The police chose badly in this one. Scharf didn't roll over. It would be nice if the U stood up for its students and took on the Borough Police over their continuous harrassment of the clubs and their members. Vive le Scharf!!!
nice usage of "scintilla".
“Apparently it has been a pattern of the Borough Police to charge an individual officer of an eating club, only to later dismiss the charges when the eating club itself agrees to take responsibility and admit liability for the charges originally levied against the individual,” Cipparone said.
Thank god for this suit. Hopefully it will end the meaningless and baseless suits against eating clubs and their officers.
VoteScharf08!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like another revenue source for the Borough has just dried up. They might actually have to watch their spending now instead of extorting the eating clubs/university.
Go get'em Scharf....finally someone put up a fight against the system abusers. The Borough could save some $$ if they didn't waste it on cops who don't do much else besides harass students and clubs.
Friggin'A!
Mr. Scharf has earned his grade in "Standing up to Government Bullying
401" Forget the moose and Steve's great food. Will has made me extremely proud to be a Charter Alum.

I live in town and I am familiar with the very cushy position,
that the two separate police departments have with the taxpayers who pay their salaries, vacation benefits, health care and pensions.
Why are Murphy and Schmidt referred to as "girls" at the end of the article. Are they not college students? Are they not over 18? Should they not be referred to as "women"?
