Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5417689, member: 40"] I do -- see: the Alton Robinson example above. But I agree 100% that circumstances matter. Lequint Allen got in a fight, and beat up a guy [who attacked him first, so it was probably self-defense]. Clearly a "violent offense" -- which is the approach that the student judicial process took with Allen. But that approach was unfair, because of the circumstances of the altercation, and Allen's squeaky clean history prior to that event. And thankfully, he wasn't kicked out of school like the initial process disposition dictated, because it would have been too harsh of a penalty. Context matters. That's why it isn't as clear cut as the name of the allegation in and of itself should determine the outcome. [/QUOTE]
