Abstract/ Summary

The penalties levied by the University of Maine against a student accused of issuing a violent threat on FirstClass [the University's email system] have been set, but an investigation by UMaine's Public Safety continues. Casey Belanger, 19, of Caribou, has been ordered by UMaine to serve 30 hours of community service over two semesters. The university has also suspended his FirstClass account and placed him on "probated suspension." The punishment sought by the state, however, is potentially more severe.
