<p>This is nothing new in fact, some say its a virtual epidemic. I know already three kids in the last few months all sent home for a “seperation from their college”, two for pot found in the room and one for alcohol and low output of grades. Some schools give a warning but many of the smaller LAC’s seem to favor a more rigid approach, thus setting a strong example for others to see and hopefully follow.</p>

<p>I agree that it’s very unlikely it’s academic, unless they were actually not attending class at all. Most schools would not assume that a student who was failing at midterm couldn’t pull it up; I’ve been spending the last couple weeks meeting with students in my program for just that reason.</p>
<p>If a student at my school truly stopped going to classes, the professors would withdraw him/her, which, if s/he were living in the dorms would lead to losing the room. But they would not be prevented from registering and attendng the next semester. (we do give leeway to freshmen to get it together.)</p>
<p>I’m guessing behavior, too, and probably if so nothing that they’d want to be talking about with others.</p>
