The way the administration at Rutgers University handed the video showing extensive use of homophobic epithets shows a school in deep denial about a pervasive problem.

The lawyers for Dharun Ravi, the ex-Rutgers student convicted in the much-discussed webcam spying case will file an appeal against the judge’s ruling, despite a much-reduced (and much-criticized) greatly reduced sentence.

Some gay activists & liberal columnists criticize the judge and jury that gave Dharun Ravi a possible 10 years in jail and deportation to his native India. Ravi secretly webcammed a meeting of a man & his gay roommate, who soon after committed suicide.

Last month Dharun Ravi was convicted of a hate crime and other charges in the case of the suicide of Tyler Clementi. Several gay activists were thrilled with the outcome while others criticized the verdict and claimed that Ravi is being scapegoated.

The jury has decided. Dharun Ravi, whose webcam of a gay roommate with another man ended in his suicide, is guilty. What really are the chances of Ravi, who is not a U.S. citizen, being deported?

The media firestorm behind coverage of the guilty verdict in the trial of the man who webcammed his gay roommate entertaining another man (and then, when found out, committed suicide) points more to tech than gay issues.

Tyler Clementi’s parents want an official accounting of any criminal behavior in their son’s suicide but say a harsh penalty for his former Rutgers University roommate isn’t necessarily in order.

Court papers show modern intrigue spelled out in texts and tweets. Along with computer records are interview transcripts that could become the heart of the evidence if the case against Tyler Clementi’s roommate goes to trial.

A former Rutgers student accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommate’s same-sex encounter pleaded not guilty Monday to 15 charges including bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and evidence tampering.
