If I were an Oregon taxpayer I'd be furious that my tax dollars are paying for his scholarship. And I'm ticked the Pac-12 has done nothing about this - even if they really can't, they still should.

Despite that, you think he should continue to be punished for the rest of his life and denied even basic opportunities like the ability to obtain an education?

Being barred from obtaining an education and receiving an athletic scholarship are two different things.

Brock Turner has the right to continue his life somewhere, and I hope he obtains a good education for his own benefit and for society's sake, but it would sicken me if Stanford chose to honor his athletic grant in aid and reincorporate him into a team that represents our university.
