Its not the only recent Sig Ep mention from a national outlet. Nor is it the only one with a headline that entirely mischaracterizes the story it contains. But way to go Fox News.
Report: University of Wisconsin Frat Boys Face Expulsion for Alleged Hazing Event
is a headline that really fits a story in which the only lines mentioning expulsion are
UW Associate Dean of Students Kevin Helmkamp said the dean’s office hopes to conclude its investigation within the week, telling UWire, “We’ll be determining if there was any misconduct on an individual or organizational level.”
Possible punishments range from monetary fines to suspension and even expulsion, according to the Web site.
On a slightly different note. Congrats to the BH for literally being the only source for the story used by Fox News. They got everything from this UWire article that they link to, which is literally just the reprinting of the BH article. It’s interesting to think that this one sentence from a BH article can inspire a national news headline.
Jeff Benson, Greek program adviser, said they are also conducting an investigation that could result in a wide variety of sanctioning, ranging from monetary fines to educational programming up to suspension and expulsion.
