The Huntington News reports the father of a student who'd just flunked out of school for the second time didn't take kindly to the news and called an associate dean to express his displeasure:
The dean reported the father said "in the future he will act as a terrorist toward the university."
The father lives in Turkey but is currently in Russia.

Lifetime ban, definitely.
Because someone telling a newspaper reporter that someone's father made a nonspecific threatening statement, that ought to be more than enough for a summary proceeding. You can't just blindly believe what you read, though: your discernment needs to be good enough to understand that the thirdhand report of what the father said is absolutely true, but the secondhand report of the son's disavowal of it is entirely false.
Sheesh, Who needs all this freakin obstructionist legal process standing in the way of what obviously needs to be done.

Don't tell me RPI rejected you too ... or Wentworth.
Also, doing well in high school doesn't mean that you can manage all the distractions of college ... or even self-care basics.
