A student assaulting another student is a great reason for expulsion.

In class, in front of the professor.

Imagine doing this shit in front of your boss. Better put that resume up on monster.com.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

The professor, another classmate and I question him about said point, to which he says "Forget it, I'm the bad guy"

People who do this are the worst human beings. Too cowardly to own up to themselves so they self-victimize for pity, to put the blame on you, and as a way to backtrack.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

I apologize if I am offending anyone here but calling someone a faggot does not equate "assault" for me. At the most I would think of it as harassment, while assault is physical harm. Please educate me if I am being dumb.

Could be, but it could also just be a decent guy having an exceptionally shitty day. There isn't enough info to make an assumption either way in my opinion. I just think the punishment is really obscenely severe... I mean, in high school if you broke someone's nose you'd probably get a suspension. I guess in general adults have less leeway on their mistakes.

Everyone has shitty days, it doesn't excuse calling someone a faggot and shoving them.

shoves me pretty damn hard from behind and says "Fuck you (Vesmir) you faggot"

The guy who pushed him is enrolled in a university. If he did this in a workplace environment he'd be fired on the spot. You can't get away with shit like this when you're an adult.

Also, he did push him. He didn't just call him a faggot.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Don't you. Forget about me, don't, don't, don't you forget about me.

Thanks guys, I missed the part about the shove.

I was a little surprised at first but it makes sense to me now. The punishment definitely fits the crime.

OP you sound like such a badass. If only others could aspire to such great heights.

Is there a word for this epidemic of people not reading the post?

 

[Valnen]

What makes people write dumbass posts like this? I can accept it from a highschooler, of course.

I can't. There's no age young enough that such stupidity is acceptable.

The whole "don't snitch" mentality is responsible for so much bad stuff that happens to kids.

So that pissed me off quite a bit, and if it weren't in a classroom then I would have done some street justice. Thankfully the professor was appalled and reported it to the department chair, who then suggested that he be expelled for it.

I dunno, I find it pretty honest, shoving someone in the back and calling them a faggot would send quite a bit of people into a tizzy.

I think 'going ham' is the street term.

My dude esch going ham in off topic threads.

 

[Byakuya769]

So many people don't read OPs.

Good job on keeping your cool. Is this other guy a freshman? I just don't get how you can be so stupid. He deserves to be expelled.

 

[Devolution]

Yeah I don't feel like we need to get uppity about reacting violently (or wanting to) to violence already inflicted. The degree of reaction maybe but if that happened to me? I'd be frustrated too.

I don't blame you for being offended by that shit, it isn't nice.

I can't tell whether I'm a loser for finding it offensive also, or if there are some serious bad asses that just don't give a fuck in this thread. Which is it?!

[Vesmir]

I didn't, I'm glad I didn't, it was what I thought when he shoved me. Sorry.

And yes, assault would have been really stupid. Glad it did not go that way.

Huh? I didn't hit anyone. If you are talking about me wanting to, then that's only because he physically confronted me as well. I think things worked out better the way it did than if it went that way.

I don't know what else I can say. It honestly was what I thought when he shoved me, but I didn't react on it.

 

[neither]

I don't know what else I can say. It honestly was what I thought when he shoved me, but I didn't react on it.

It worked out for you in the end because then you'd probably be in hot water with the school as well.
Still sucks that it happened though.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

If a guy working in an office did this he would be fired immediately. Consider this some real world 101.

You don't pay thousands of dollars a year to work in an office. What he did was shitty and he deserves to be reprimanded, but he doesn't deserve expulsion.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

That guy is a dick and has issues. Hopefully he gets some kind of punishment coming his way. You shouldn't have to deal with that crap in college.

 

[Devolution]

Nah he deserves expulsion. If he's paying to use a service he should be even more careful about how he acts. No one should have to endure his bullshit at a higher learning facility.

 

[DarkFlow]

Shoving someone is assault http://www.plea.org/legal_resources/?a=127&searchTxt=&cat=8&pcat=4

Edit: actually i dont know where this happened, so it might not be there, but it probably is since it is grounds for being expelled.

It's battery, assault is threatening someone.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

glad it was just a shove and nothing more. hopefully he gets punished.

 

[Resilient]

You don't pay thousands of dollars to be pushed around by an adult who can't control their emotions.

 

[Twio]

When you're kicked out of a university the university doesn't show much sympathy for the money you spent. This obviously differs from place to place but I've heard many stories where students got into physical altercations with one another and both were expelled on their first offense.

No university wants a reputation for physical violence.

 

[NH Apache]

What? Assess him some demerits? Confine him to his room? Put him on super secret probation?

This is big boy time. Students pay to be educated, not physically and verbally assaulted in a supposedly safe classroom.

This is the problem today. Can't punish people because their opportunitiesmight get harmed . What about the people emotionally or physically scarred?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

You don't lock someone up and throw away the key on someone's first offense just because he says a bad word and pushes a guy. He acted like a shithead and made a mistake, but that mistake shouldn't cost him an education. This is the type of situation someone can learn from, not one where you immediately damn him forever for.

 

[Jintor]

Are you gay? That information needs to be known for context.

If you are gay and he knows that then yeah its a big deal. But if you arent gay then that term could have been used as just a general diss. Ok yeah i know its not right to use that term as a general diss, but we all know its used that way by a lot of people. Someone calling me that term and someone calling my gay friend that would have very different meanings.

You're trying to demean them either by comparison or just by using an insulting name. The meaning is different but the intent is the same - to degrade.

It's not costing him an education. It's costing him one at this university though since he cannot seem to keep his hands to himself. People are there to learn, not witness or be inflicted with violence. Not to mention the OP said.

"He has had other issues, namely intimidating female instructors. Has a history and the department chair knows it."

Sounds like the Uni is better off.

 

[Replicant]

Well, now that you know you don't like being called using that word hopefully you won't use that word to others. Not that I'm saying you do, but people often don't realize how hurtful a word can be until they are the receiver of said word.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Expulsion from the class? Sure. Heck, I'd even be okay with him getting kicked out of the whole department. But thinking some immature kid who pays thousands of dollars a year to an institution should be kicked out of school for pushing someone and calling them a "faggot" is too much in my opinion.

The physical abuse should be handled by campus police, if the OP wants to press charges then go ahead. However, if you're going to kick the kid out of school for this action there needs to be a judicial review. Most schools have such a system in place.

College is the big kids table; you can't behave like you belong there, then maybe you don't. Besides, this was not his first incident.

 

[megamerican]

The dude is clearly unstable. I think he should be removed from any class you two share and should be forced to speak to the campus psychologist. I think expelling him outright is probably rash. If the psychologist thinks he's a nutjob, then go for it. Might be some fucked up things in his life though.

How is it too much? He's displayed his inability to interact with people sans violence.

 

[gaming_noob]

What are you studying, OP?
Someone I know who was studying to become a private pilot told me his professors kicked students out of the program for fooling around in class or being late. Pilot school is serious business

While I agree that it being his first incident casts him in a worse light and it should be looked into, there are much worse things that happen in College then calling someone a bad word and pushing them. A lot of College kids don't act like they belong there and are allowed to stay.

 

[Kinyou]

Why does it fucking matter if the OP is gay or not? Its 20 fucking 13 and using the term 'faggot' for a swear word should already be blacklisted. Just tossing it aside as a common diss when used between straight people doesn't make it any better and does not help the gay rights issue.

For me it makes the difference between an ignorant idiot and a malicious asshole.

Devo has pointed out that it wasn't his first offence though. So this guy should be allowed to coast through uni being a massive dick to more than one person, just cause he paid money? What about the other paying students? Is being treated like shit part of the assessment?

Worse stuff may happen in college. That doesn't change make this incident any less severe

Ehh, you're being overdramatic. Expulsion isn't going to ruin his life. He can probably re-apply to the same university next year, or apply elsewhere and transfer credits. He'll lose this term's tuition, that's about it.
