+1. If your child is one of the hundreds wait listed at Princeton and your hasn't, say, phoned in a bomb threat or done anything else to be punished by their school (or arrested by the authorities) wouldn't you puzzle why this kid gets to keep their spot?

And if some Latin students did things where the punishment was expulsion under the family handbook but were allowed to stay (which has happened), wouldn't you puzzle why your child was expelled?[/quote]

I believe someone pointed out that the handbook doesn't say expulsion is the only option.  It is my understanding that the administration felt that this case rose to the level of expulsion. Perhaps that was the case with the other students, expulsion wasn't the only option, but in those cases the administration didn't feel that it warranted expulsion.  Were the other cases bomb threats from a Muslim student?  I would want to know the specifics of the previous cases before deciding whether there is something amiss with the decision for this case.[/quote]
