The aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti serves as a great stepping stone and learning experience.

It is provocative and overeaching. Academics should be left to educators and not interfered with by administrators.

Even considering UF policy as a supposed "right choice", both students were conducting research in Haiti, following UF guidelines, *before* the policy was made.

Not letting them use the footage will not only be damaging to their work and thesis, but also to UF's reputation.

Clearly these two young men have demonstrated an enormous commitment to Haiti and its people, and seeing as their project predated the restriction, it's absurd that it would be invalidated now. Furthermore, such a refusal demonstrates a childish stubbornness on the part of administrators. Show respect for the students that have brought so much attention to your program.

The University should be proud to award degrees to students who have as much commitment to their discipline as Jon and Roman have. These two students hold their thesis to a high standard of excellence. The fact that the University does not promote the same standard of excellence is an embarrassment to the Gator Nation.

These students have worked hard and suffered greatly for their education and should be permitted to add to the body on knowledge on this subject.

The University took no risk in terms of liability and therefore have no right to punish the students whose lives were in less danger than the college football players whom the university proudly advertises.
