Students in riots face suspension or expulsion
MINNEAPOLIS (U-WIRE) — Over the next few weeks University of Minnesota officials will grapple with how and when the student conduct code should be enforced.

Last Monday, student life Director Robert Jones said students arrested during the riot following the April 6 NCAA hockey championship victory could be suspended or expelled because of their actions.

So far, no reports have been filed with Student Judicial Affairs against any of the 25 people arrested. At least 11 are University students.

Penalties will be assessed based on the infraction’s severity. Officials said it is too soon to determine whether students will be suspended or expelled.

Along with questions about the code of conduct, administrators are looking into student allegations police used excessive force.
