Readers react to senior rush linebacker Logan Tago receiving the Center for Civic Engagement Fall 2017 Community Involvement Award. Tago took part in community service after pleading guilty to second-degree felony robbery and fourth-degree misdemeanor assault. Tago was initially suspended from WSU, but the suspension was lifted.

Stephanie Falck: “Sorry, but this ‘award’ should never have been offered. He got a plea deal because he’s a football player, and that should not be celebrated with an award of any kind, especially not for completing his punishment.”

Landon Roper: “Any issue here is not with Tago, it’s with the Center for Civic Engagement. The story’s headline and image is doing Tago wrong and obscuring the real issue. Tago made a mistake and did what was required. Now we’re making him pay for someone else’s mistake?”

Sierra Lewis: “Most students do hours because they are required. Logan Tago was among every student but he made a meaningful impact on the community, which most students do not.”

Jackie Gonzalez: “I’m confused. He assaults someone. He is punished. And then he is rewarded for completing his punishment?”

Debbie Gray: “WSU Center for Civic Engagement Couged it.”

Brendan Ryan Galvin: “Bottom line is that he is getting awarded for being convicted of beating someone up and stealing a six pack of beer. That’s definitely something I expect from WSU and hilariously stupid.”
