Abstract
This Note will discuss the importance of providing public university students facing expulsion or long-term suspension with proper due process protections. First, this Note will present the origins of a constitutionally-protected liberty or property interest as derived from the Due Process Clause. Next, this Note will examine Supreme Court precedent relating to a student’s right to procedural due process. Then, the split amongst the circuit courts of appeals, which resulted from a lack of guidance from the Supreme Court, will be reviewed. Finally, this Note will argue that both a protected property interest in continued education and a protected liberty interest in a student’s reputation should be implicated when a public university
student faces dismissal or long-term suspension for academic or disciplinary reasons
