Campus Pride, a national LGBT student group, has called on Rutgers University president Richard McCormick to expel Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, who are charged with invasion of privacy for broadcasting an intimate encounter of fellow student Tyler Clementi.

Clementi committed suicide in September by jumping off the George Washington Bridge in New York after he was spied on via Web cam in the incident.

"Ravi and Wei acted maliciously to secretly tape Tyler Clementi, even posting comments to encourage others to 'video chat' and watch. This is an egregious act of invasion of privacy. Both students should be expelled. Period," Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride's executive director, said in a post on the organization's blog.
