Uni lets off student over tramp taunt
A CAMBRIDGE University student who burned a £20 note in front of a homeless man will not be expelled, it emerged yesterday.
Ronald Coyne faced disciplinary action after a video went viral of him taunting the rough sleeper while wearing tails.
He kept his place at Pembroke College after writing a public apology.
Coyne, 18 at the time of early hours incident in February, said he had been threatened with chemical attacks after he “forgot what it really meant to study at Cambridge”.
Coyne’s college has shared his letter to “generate support for Ronald as he prepares to return.” He said: “I am setting out to try to remedy some of the hurt caused by my actions.”
