ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two Southern Oregon University students who wrote anti-gay graffiti in dorms will be allowed to return to school but must perform community service and live off campus.
The university’s hearings board ruled that 19-year-old Blake Adkins and 20-year-old Kevin Novotny will be required to do the community service projects for the school’s Queer Resource, Women’s Resource and Multicultural centers.
Adkins told the Ashland Daily Tidings that he and Novotny must also perform 25 additional hours of community service and attend a gay-rights meeting in October at the university.
Adkins said if they don’t complete the hearings board’s requirements, they could be suspended for up to a year.
