LIFE’S EASIER WHEN YOU’RE A FAVORITE OF THE REGIME: Sanctioned flag vandal still controls $1 million in student organization funds.

More than a month after Fadel Alkilani vandalized a 9/11 flag display, Washington University officials handed down his punishment.

“A student senator at Washington University in St. Louis was fined $500 and put on disciplinary probation,” Young America’s Foundation reported on October 20. The conservative student organization sponsored the flag display put up by the university’s College Republican chapter.

YAF obtained a letter from the student conduct office that described the punishment Alkilani received.

The letter said Alkilani has been convicted of five different violations of the student conduct code. The violations include “[f]urnishing false information, “[i]nterfering with the rights of other members of the university community,” and theft.

He has been placed on probation and removed from his resident advisor job but remains on the finance committee of the student government. YAF reported that his position allows him power to allocate more than $1 million to student organizations.

The other crime is that there’s $1 million in student organization funds.
