JOLIET, Ill. — Three Lewis University students have been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly being behind the hanging of a noose in a dormitory window. The Will County state’s attorney’s office has charged Matthew McCormack, and Daniel Rusch, both of the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, and Michael Lisman of Kansas City, Mo. with making threatening remarks. Dorm residents also claim the men lowered a noose in front of their window. Lewis officials say the students have been barred from the school’s campus, pending a student judicial hearing. The school’s 376-acre campus in Will County houses about 1,000 students in 11 residence halls. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
