Yeah, 'agrees' as in they have no choice. Eastern Michigan University will pay $350,000 to the US Department of Education for violating the Clery Act, which mandates universities inform their residents when something heinous, like, mmm, a murder takes place on your campus.
This is the largest fine EVER for violating this act.
Don't take our disgust at face value, here's Mary Gust, director of administrative actions and appeals with the DoE:
"an egregious violation, which endangered the entire EMU campus community."
Again, we'd like to thank those who really helped made this fine all possible; Former President John Fallon, former Vice President of Student Affairs Jim Vick and former Public Safety Director Cindy Hall. Well played.

This terrible story is like a zit before your wedding - it just won't go away.
Let's hope that this is the end of it, and all parties involved can just move on. Hopefully the university has learned their lesson and they can now save money for other important things - like heat in the classrooms and toilet paper in the restrooms.
Boy I sure hope so, I'm sick of writing about it
