This whole document is worth reading. Certain things jumped out at me, suchI agree. One wonders how much more sane some of the people running MUM were, compared to Sem. It's hard to imagine anything more insane happening at a university than the following:
as Suzy Dillbeck trying to get students upset about the pen attack - some
still crying - to forget about what had just happened and focus on a
Maharishi tape. Apparently she had the principle of the 2nd element in mind,
which has often been used as a tactic to alienate people from what they're
actually experiencing.
Fortunately, John Killian was able to deflect the pen slightly with
his hand, possibly saving his own life. The pen punctured his hand,
chin, and throat, and left a red ink scratch across his throat.
A fellow student named Akbar Nazary grabbed Shuvender Sem and
stopped the attack.
John Killian was taken to a restroom by Maharishi University of
Management staff, advised that he probably did not need stitches,
given a bandage, and encouraged to return to class. His repeated
requests to be taken to someone qualified to determine whether he
needed stitches were turned down.
John Killian was then asked by University staff to meet with
Shuvender Sem so that Sem could apologize. Staff members, who
included Chris Jones and Samuel Boothby, represented that the reason
Sem had attacked Killian was that Sem had been meditating improperly.
Shuvender Sem's "apology," which was prompted by Samuel Boothby, was
delivered with a flat expression in a monotone voice, and with no
indication of genuine remorse.
Samuel Boothby then asked John Killian if he was ready to return to
class. Killian could not believe Boothby was serious.
