UO Dean of Students Paul Shang released a statement regarding the reader submitted snowball video that reached #2 on Reddit.

The statement said that police will be investigating the identities of the students throwing the snowballs and look into whether their actions constitute a criminal act.

“The University of Oregon takes the conduct of its students seriously. Consequences are clear for those whose actions reflect poorly upon the university or violate its standards for student behavior. However, until the facts of the snowball-throwing incident are sorted out, it would be premature to speculate about any potential outcomes in this case,” the statement said.
