Abstract:
Explains that courts have generally subjected disciplinary action to procedural due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, while academic sanctions have garnered greater deference. Examines the judicial history of this dual track, establishes the difficulty of characterizing as either disciplinary or academic the countless situations reflecting significant elements of each, criticizes the courts' narrow view of "hearing," and proposes a unified constitutional standard for all such cases.
