| I find the double jeopardy of a student's own college making them attend a disciplinary hearing for an alleged infraction that happened in a place entirely unrelated to that college completely sickening. Especially given the specious nature of the charges.
I suspect with a half-decent lawyer all these charges can be dismissed, though. Especially if this was in a state in which consumption of alcohol under the supervision of a parent is allowed. Because then, no legal infraction was committed in drinking the alcohol, and unless the police can prove public inebriation, nothing's going in that front. Is the state in which this problem occurred one of those states, chocoholic?
As for the fire extinguisher thing, I suspect that too will be easy to get out of.
But I do not think it is at all tenable not to tell his parents. He needs to do that. And sooner, not later. |
