There are a lot of papers I'm going through.  According to LaQuint, the initial student review told him that they could not consider the actions of the other person, only LaQuint.  The appeals board did mention self defense but stated that LaQuint chose to engage himself when he could have walked away and the extent of the injuries he caused is not consistent with self defense.  That is going to be issue that SU focuses on.  He could have walked away.  So while the initial student review refused to consider self defense, the appeals review did consider it and ruled against LaQuint.  That is different from what I previously stated.

According to LaQuint, he was told by the student in the informal resolution process and in the student review hearing that what the other guy did was of no consequence.  It was only at the SU appeals level that self defense was ever mentioned by any SU representative.  So LaQuint's attorneys are arguing that SU did not follow its procedures since self defense was not allowed to be raised at the first two levels of the case.
