Should an academic scholarship student under investigation, or charged with a crime and going through court proceedings be prevented from going to classes?
A good friend of mine back in the day got kicked off campus for having a keg in his dorm room and was charged with some kind of crimeby the UConn cops for serving alcohol to minors, that was eventually dropped. Should he have been prevented from going to classes as it was played out?
(I am posing questions for thought only. The point is that there needs to be some common sense, and proportionality to disciplinary actions.) I honestly have no idea what Williams situation is. I'm sure it's not something that a little investigative reporting wouldn't be able to uncover.
Neither of those have anything to do with your last point that scholarship athletes should be treated different than non-scholarship athletes, only because they are scholarship athletes.
That first question is so stupid for a multitude of reasons that aren't worth my time getting into. I don't know why you think it's thought provoking, it's not.
Put simply, you don't need to be an athlete to be a student at a university; however, you do need to be a student to be an athlete at a university. Not surprisingly, you don't need to live on campus to remain a student.
Take away the ability to go to class and you might as well just expel the student.
Of course there should be some common sense. I hope there's more to the story, because if all he did was charge up less than $200 on a stolen credit card, he should be back playing by now.
