The school can still kick the student out for cause and the lawyer will not prevent that.


doesn't that mean the student has to actually breach the policy? it sounds like at the moment that they don't like what he's done, but can't seem to explain exactly what makes it academic crime.


I agree that they should explain and are most likely just dropping the hammer on something they don’t like.

My point is school boards have no requirement to be transparent and generally aren’t something you can appeal or use the actual legal system to help you with. If they decide they want to kick you out, that’s it. They’re intimidating the student and I guess what I’m saying is the student should seriously consider whether or not they want the degree because I don’t think they can fight the academic dishonesty board even if the student is technically right.


might make a good personal statement for a rival ivy League university though.
