Background:
"We're sure that there's probably some facts and information that's just not available," Fort Hays State Provost Larry Gould said. "I mean, you see a lot on the video, but we need to make sure everything is revealed before we take any action." No one knows what kind of punishment Shanahan may receive, but so far he has not been disciplined, according to The Kansas City Star. Gould told the Star that the Department of Communication Studies chair and the dean of the College of Arts and Science is investigating the incident; he expects the results within the week.

What?
;-)
After reading through the market I've clarified it with this statement: "If by Oct. 31st no news can be found stating that the professor was punished the market will settle as the third option." With this clarification we won't have to worry about the market possibly sitting suspended for months on end. Of course if the University states they won't be punishing him we can also settle based on that.
Hope this clears things up,
Regards,
Ryan
