Stanford to Ban Students Found Guilty of Sexual Assault

At most colleges, if you're found responsible for sexual assault, you may be suspended. But at Stanford University, you'll likely be booted off campus permanently: Starting this fall, officials recommend making expulsion the default punishment for sexual assault. “Going forward, if a Stanford student is found responsible for sexual assault as it is defined in university policy, the expected sanction in such cases should be permanent separation from the university—expulsion," a task force of faculty, students, and staff wrote in a report published this month. Panels reviewing a student's case will be expected to consider expulsion first before moving on to less serious punishments, the report added.
