The whole "privilege" thing is an easy and desirable target for University Administration. Keep in mind that most Lacrosse players were given entry to a school they might not have gotten into if it were not for lacrosse. The ideologues in these institutions see this as admissions spots being taken away from under represented groups and given to people of privilege. This is the mentality you are dealing with at these schools, tell your son's to be very careful. Additionally, your son will also be held accountable for things he might have done off campus as well. Because of his impact on the greater community. Now if the greater community has an impact on your son, well that's too bad. University does nothing to help you. You know, like being the victim of crime. The things we did in college that were considered pranks or just silliness are now grounds for suspension or expulsion. Dismissal from the Lacrosse team should be the least of your worries. By the way, your son doesn't need to guilty of anything. The severity of the accusation, followed by the "preponderance of the evidence" is enough to bring the hammer down. Which means, if we think you may have done something, your done. Regardless of what you actually did or didn't do.
