My D started at Duke this fall and learned of a sophomore friend who got suspended from Duke for low grades. He was asked to sit out this semester and possibly be allowed to return next semester for re-do. What terrible news!

Number one question is how can this happen, with professors, faculty advisors and fellow peers so available?

Secondly, what is Duke’s policy on maintaining a minimum GPA to avert a suspension?

We don’t know all the details, since there may be other extenuating circumstances besides low grades. However, a little insight into this issue would be helpful. Thanks.
