Disciplinary action a possibility: Engle
The University of Iowa will prosecute those who prevented Friday's scheduled lecture by Harvard psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein if it has sufficient evidence to do so, a UI official said Tuesday.
Robert E. Engle, assistant to the president, said the Campus Security Director William L. Binney has been asked to "sort out the information we have" regarding the event.
"If the evidence shows we can charge someone, of course we will carry through," Engle said. 
He said Binney must determine which, if any, of the Regents Rules of Personal Conduct were violated and also which of the violators can be identified. 
Section 2 (a) of the rules says "Obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary procedures, or the university or university authorized function or event "shall subject the violator to disciplinary procedures.
Section 2 (c) covers "Physical abuse or the threat of physical abuse against any person on the campus or at any university-authorized function or event, or other conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any such persons."
Sanctions for violators of the rules include dismissal or suspension from the university.
