An email sent by Nate Winstanley '04 on behalf of the Queer Student Union (QSU) to all-campus to publicize the fall 2003 Queer Bash drew vehemently disapproving emails from two first-year students, Jon Pritchard '07 and Brandon Lucien '07. When Winstanley, feeling threatened by the emails he'd received, made them and their senders public by forwarding it to various listsevers and adinistration officials, the exchange became a subject of widespread campus attention and debate, and the cause for a disciplinary investigation.
The email exchange transpired between October 10th and 14th 2003. Full ramifications of the event included prolonged debate within College Council , of which Winstanley was a member; a widely publicized special QSU meeting to discuss the events, at which Pritchard and Lucien's Junior Advisors were present; and the two first-years' decision to withdraw from the College for a year, perhaps part-induced by pressure from the disciplinary investigation and proceedings against them.
