My neighbor’s son, Rohit, was expelled from university following an incident in class where he lost his temper during a debate and used inappropriate language toward a professor. This was the first time Rohit had ever been involved in any kind of disciplinary issue. Known for being a responsible and hardworking student, he had maintained a clean record throughout his time at the university. The incident itself, while disrespectful, was brief and did not escalate into any physical confrontation.
The university, however, chose to enforce its strict zero-tolerance policy on misconduct and expelled Rohit without considering the fact that this was his first offense and he had no prior history of misbehavior. Rohit feels the expulsion is an excessive punishment for what he sees as a minor incident, especially given his otherwise excellent academic standing. He believes that a warning or suspension would have been a more appropriate consequence. Rohit now plans to challenge the university’s decision in court, arguing that the punishment is disproportionate.
What can be done in this case, and how do they proceed with this matter further? How can the student demonstrate that the university's response was disproportionate, and what kind of legal relief might the court grant in such cases?
