Nordenberg reprimands students

Chancellor Mark Nordenberg issued a statement today reprimanding some of the students involved in Sunday night's Super Bowl riots.

Nordenberg said in the statement that "for large numbers of people to celebrate this very significant win. . .was entirely predictable and might even have become a positive addition to a festive occasion," but that it was inappropriate for students to vandalize property.

He added that the University will "cooperate fully with ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute those who are charged with crimes, whether or not they are Pitt students. " 

He said that some students have already been punished under the school's Student Code of Conduct, and that the University may punish some students, even if the police chose not to.
