    What a shitty headline.

    It’s a suspension pending hearing. Happens all the time.

    They’re used for a whole host of reasons including things way less serious than taking a gun to school.

    Article chose to paint it this way for clicks and outrage bait.

      Some of those facing punishment, including 40 students at UC San Diego, were slapped with “interim suspension” notices following mass arrests at protest encampments. But many others who avoided arrest face the same penalty for reasons that are far less clear. …

      “You very rarely see these interim suspension cases,” said Sukham Sidhu, who heads of the Office of Student Advocacy at UC San Diego and has spent her undergraduate career representing peers through campus disciplinary proceedings. “The only times I’ve seen it imposed are in cases of physical assault.”

        Physical assault = bringing an assault rifle to campus? In your mind?

        That quote is doing some heavy lifting.

        Interim suspensions are a universal thing in colleges. Every college has them. They are used all the time. Cheating. Sexual harassment. Threats.

        Repeat violations is a big one. You know, like if the dean or police come bye and tell you to please remove your illegal campsite for the University grounds, and you refuse to do it day in and day out?

      And it worked LoL. The simpletons are frothing over the bait. There’s video of one of the protesters at UCLA literally pulling a gun on a guy they thought was pro Israel…but wasn’t LoL he was there to join. He’s been doing pretty funny interviews about it, doesn’t seem like the brightest light.
