Ga. college cadet awaits penalty for bathroom snapshot of officer

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.
