“I really do not believe there is a downside to the school if they told him to leave.
Even if they pony up some money to get him to leave it would be in their best interest.”

Ummm…Bad press. Which is actually very powerful in today’s society. Plus, they would most certainly face legal action.



Interesting. Are students “students at will” like employees who are “employees at will” and can be fired for virtually any reason as long as the employeers do not violate a discrimination law? Can students legally be asked to leave for no reason?

I’d also like to comment on all the posts suggesting about the school requiring the student to get counseling. 35 years ago when I was in college we had a student in our dorm who was mentally unstable and needed help … I know school official spoke to him at least once … what we, the students, heard second hand was that the student refused help. We were also told by our RA that unless the student was judged to be an immediate threat to themselves or someone else the school could not require counseling or remove the student from school … not sure what was a legal limitation and what was a school policy.
