Dante Harris, who took a  picture of the assistant commandant of cadets in a University of North Georgia bathroom, appeared before a college disciplinary panel Wednesday. The panel could suspend or expel him or revoke his $70,000 military scholarship.

Harris, a 21-year-old junior, took the photograph of Major Richard Neikirk, who had lowered his shorts below his buttocks while using a urinal in November. Harris sent the picture to three of his friends, who shared it with hundreds of people on mass messaging platform GroupMe.

The university panel will make its decision Friday. Read the full story on our premium site here.
