OP, you've already gotten a lot of advice so I'll just add one other aspect here: Your DC had better hope that none of the other students involved in the incident (or just students at the school who weren't involved) have posted about it on social media, shared any names, shared any photos, named the school, complained about being asked to "withdraw" if they were asked, etc.

Colleges increasingly look at students' social media accounts. Even if your own DC has no accounts or didn't post on ones he does have, well, there is always the chance, however slim it seems, that social media posts about an incident serious enough to get students expelled-but-not-[i]expelled[/i] could end up on colleges' radar somehow. Some here will scoff, I know!, but you need to consider this aspect. If this was about vaping (earlier example someone gave) that's less of an issue but if this involved, say, vandalism or a public disturbance or whatever--that could end up being talked about online. Sure, it's not very likely these EA colleges which have already said yes will go look at social media. But it's amazing, how kids and parents don't realize what seeps online.
