On February 14, 2018, at approximately 2:45 AM, Charlie Pearlman’s Tent #74 missed a tent

check in KVille. Sanjeev Dasgupta and Logan Kirkpatrick claim to have been in the tent at the
time and to have slept through the check.

If a tent does not check in with a Line Monitor during tent checks, they are assessed a “miss;” in
emergency circumstances, the HLM may grant an exemption from completing a tent check. Tent
#74 appealed their missed tent check to the Head Line Monitor (HLM) asking for their miss to be
cleared on the basis they had evidence they were in the tent. The HLM did not grant this
request.

Tent #74 then further appealed their missed check to the Judiciary on February 16, 2018. In
their Petition, they stated two members of Tent #74 have hearing disabilities, one of whom was
in the tent when they missed the check. Tent #74 made the argument that the KVille Policy
violated the DSG Constitution Article IX Bill of Rights.

The DSG Judiciary determined that the HLM provided sufficient evidence that students who
have disabilities and medical concerns have had their needs met. Moreover, the Line Monitors
complied with the KVille Policy to the best of their ability.

However, since the KVille Policy itself does not include specific language regarding reasonable
accommodations for students in KVille, we decided that the Policy did not fully satisfy the
requirements of the DSG Constitution Bill of Rights. During oral arguments on February 19,
2018, the Advocate for the Petitioners, Logan Kirkpatrick, stated that providing a reasonable
accommodation notice in the KVille Policy and striking the missed tent check would provide
appropriate relief for Tent #74. Given that the roster of Tent #74 included tenters with disabilities
that reasonably related to tent checks (i.e. being alerted to a tent check by a bullhorn), we
removed the missed tent check.

In particular, our decision turned on the definition of a tent check. The Judiciary is only issuing a
decision on one criterion for a tent check: that students check in with a Line Monitor during the
called tent check. However, we leave open the question of a second possibility: that a tent have
sufficient members present within the parameters of KVille at the time of the called tent check,
irrespective of whether or not the tenters checked in.

Since we have not addressed this question, the HLM has the authority to reassess the tent
check and address the issue of whether or not Tent #74 had two members in KVille on February
14, 2018 at 2:45 AM.

After the decision was reached, steps were taken to provide a reasonable accommodation
process for students who wish to participate in KVille. The Judiciary issued an injunction that
establishes that students seeking a reasonable accommodation in KVille should contact the
Student Disability Access Office (SDAO).
