University taking disciplinary action in aftermath of rowdy party in Halifax Saturday night...HALIFAX -- Dalhousie University says it's taking disciplinary action against students who took part in a rowdy party Saturday night that drew thousands to the city's south end.

"We are gravely disappointed in the deplorable, reckless behaviour of students who organized and attended large, unsanctioned and illegal street parties near campus yesterday," says a statement issued Sunday afternoon.

"We made clear to students last week that those who partake in these activities risked being sanctioned by Dalhousie through the university's Code of Student Conduct."

The letter was signed by Deep Saini, president and vice-chancellor, Frank Harvey, provost and vice-president academic and Verity Turpin, vice-provost student affairs (acting).

Sanctions range from mandatory training, probation, education, and denial of privileges, to more serious offenses such as suspension or expulsion from the university.
