Colleges in California are imposing severe penalties on student protesters, including evictions from housing and barring from exams, through high-stakes disciplinary processes usually reserved for serious offenses like carrying a gun or sexual assault.
Interim suspension penalties are unexpectedly applied to students involved in protests, causing significant consequences like housing insecurity and scholarship loss, even without detainment or arrest.
Campus discipline, used for managing various student behaviors, can serve as an alternative to police involvement; however, the sudden increase in interim suspensions for peaceful protesters surprises experts who suggest it is typically reserved for imminent danger cases.
