My sister goes to a university.there is no more to the story.She was accused of cheating on an essay and her teacher gave her an f and i tried to be helpful and explain to the teacher i watched her write it,but the teacher became very nasty with me so i became nasty back.Ok maybe i shouldnt have tried to talk to the teacher but i was only trying to help! They want to kick her out of the university now because of me.She had no control over me she asked me not to go in but i walked in anyways.They shouldnt punish her for my actions.She was accused of cheating by allowing her friend to email her assignment for her because she didnt have access to email and he did.That is the truth!!! no actions were taken on him except the f and he was allowed to stay but she will get kicked out.I think there is a lawsuit brewing here.

Nope No lawsuit. universities can kick you out if they have reason to believe you cheated.
this is going to be one of those valuable lessons... stay out of other peoples affairs.

Before you jump to a lawsuit try appealing the decision. All universities have a procedure thy need to follow in situations such as this. In this case, th proof of actual cheating is really thin so you may want to argue on that point - do not get angry, just recite the facts.

The school should have some process to appealing this. Look into that. Also, ask your sister to talk to someone she know, perhaps another dean or something who can put in a good word for her or at least help explain what she has to do to appeal the decision and what steps she can take to improve her chances of a successful appeal.

Why on earth would her friend that emailed the assignment accept an F? In every university, there are student councils. Have her bring up the matter before the Student council and have them make a determination.

I doubt there is a lawsuit as you can be suspended or expelled from any any school for offenses such as cheating or misconduct.
You need to butt out and allow your sister to go to the teacher and the dean in a conference over the conduct and see what happens.

Is this a public university, or private?
If public, then its charter will call for some sort of disciplinary hearing process in which she can appeal her proposed expulsion.
If private, then it can make its own rules, and whatever those rules are she is bound by them.

WTF?? What an University? They kick people out for nothing Get your sister hell out of that university....
Or if you really want to be crappy, just submit a letter of apology, so that your sister gets to stay...
Anyways, tell her to get rid of that friend too. Couldn't he have guessed what they could think if he uses the same email address or such? Or maybe he even copied from her.....

I guess you should have stayed out of it. I don't see a lawsuit against her though.
