[quote=Anonymous]College students are adults.  Colleges have HUGE populations where an accused might very well have never met the peer revieiw panel members and will likely never see them again.  College students are not as prone to queen bee behavior, targeted group bullying of weeker individuals, and the fragile sense of self esteem and confidence that middle school students have.

How dare this principal do this to this girl, or any student.  Give an appropriate punishment (a strong one at that) but have the adults who are paid for their judgement and also professionally bound to confidentiality be the ones to handle this.  In short, the principal needs to do his job, and not pass it off to a group of kids.

There are real life consequences to this system for children like OPs, way more important than whether she used the wrong type of calculator in 8th grade.  The cheating scandal will go away but the humiliation never will.  The child knows this, and that is why she would rather get suspended.  Mom, you know this too.  You are right. Fight this one to the end.[/quote]
