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 [[listserver|listsevers]] and adinistration administration 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 Advisor]]s 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.
