I pulled the following out of a net.bizarre article; I had seen the tail end of a reference to this case on a network news show, but I have no real info about it at all. Surely there are some Stanford people on the net with detailed knowledge about this case? Could you please fill us (me) in on what this is all about? (Info on motivation, history of the parties involved, what department was this man in, etc.?) One thing I recall from the network news coverage -- Mr. Streleski claimed to be a member in good standing of the Stanford alumni association, and that he had a right to go back to Stanford; the Stanford campus cops, though, said that they'd arrest him if he set foot on campus. Any more info on this aspect?

Any more info on this aspect? I doubt that gives you the right to be on campus. It doesn't at the Universities out here, but they are likely of extending to you the courtesy of not booting you off if your an alum. However, the JHU did prosecute (non-alumni) people for trespassing. As we don't have no trespassing signs, they must have informed the person that he was to leave and that he was not welcome to return. When he did (actually the third or fourth time he did), they had him locked up.
