Why would an Ivy League college suspend a destitute Black boy for a year?

Yes. Too immoral to know that cheating is wrong. Too stupid to get away with cheating. Too socially inept to weasel his way out of well-deserved punishment. Frankly he has no business in the Ivy League.

Spare me. The Ivy in question has produced some of the most blood-thirsty cheats in U.S. history.

OP, you need to help him appeal the decision, if you genuinely are here to get advice, and really do want to help him. There isn't anything else to do at this point other than trying to help him get reinstated.

Truthfully he was probably too naive to know how to properly navigate the situation and get out of it. Skipping the meeting was probably doubling down on the error because it left the university with little recourse for another path. Had he shown up and apologized they could have offered another option.

A more sophisticated kid with greater resources probably would have shown up with lawyers and gotten the whole thing expunged.

Thank you for dropping your mask and revealing your racism and classism. I feel sorry for you that you can't seeing the evil involved when Ivy League PhDs bait and entrap low-income unsophisticated students with online assignments loaded with tracking software, railroad them with Ivy bureaucracy when they know they have zero resources, and quite literally make them homeless for a year. A college with tens of billions of dollars in an endowment. Literally putting this teen boy in jail for a year would be safer. At least he would have shelter and food.

This is so over the top and wrongheaded that it has to be a joke. Right?

+1. That's why this is evil.

Then why would you want him to go back there?

No it's not a joke, Inspector Javert. I'm sorry if you get off on this sort of thing. I don't get off on destitute Black teenagers with nothing and nobody getting zero tolerance railroaded by PhDs and a college with tens of billions of dollars.

Have you offered to take him into your home?

How, precisely, was he railroaded?

Presumably the same way he was "baited" and "entrapped" -- entirely in OP's head.

Eh. A moderately sophisticated kid would have shown up and apologized and demonstrated lots of remorse. It's not either-or. And many colleges have resources for students going through the honor system. At mine, you could get a student rep to help you through the process.

Did he ask you for money in the facebook message? Sounds like a scam.

Thank you for dropping the charade. How did you (Meredith Raimondo, former Dean of Oberlin) find your way on to DCUM?

“Bait and entrap” into cheating? LOL You sound just like Trump. He cheated, he got caught, he was too immature or dumb to go to a meeting that school held to discuss. Your victim mentality is something else.

Why don't you take him into your home? Or one of your friends
