Ok, my friend just told me this, and i was pissed just to hear about it. His ex-gf is in another state, himself is in NY, both attending colleges. He and his ex-gf had some issues, and they was "fightingg" over a chinese social website, its like twitter, he was @ her and writing some insults. And that girl screenshotted those words and sent it to his school, saying that he harassed her. Now the school sent him e-mails, he is worried that he might have to get lawyer or kicked out from RIT, personally i think its no big deal, i mean for god's sake, u insulted someone on a foreign social website, two of them are not even in the same state, she doesnt even have a greencard, not saying that she doesnt have the rights, but still. But he is worried, i am not sure either, i mean anyone know that is this a big deal that he needs a lawyer or what. And btw, he only wrote the stuff for a day, its not like a long term thing. This is the letter RIT sent him:
