A Toronto university student will not be expelled for
running a Facebook study group that his school had argued
constituted cheating. Ryerson University's Faculty Appeals
Committee announced the decision to spare Chris Avenir on
Tuesday afternoon, a week after his expulsion hearing.
The 18-year-old will be required to take a course on
academic misconduct and will have a note on his transcript
saying he was disciplined, said Nora Loreto, president of
the Ryerson Students Union. Avenir will also get a zero on
one of his assignments, worth 10 per cent of his course
grade, Loreto said. "
Avenir's lawyer said Tuesday that Avenir has not yet decided
if he will appeal the decision. "It's a finding he's
not at all comfortable with. He doesn't believe that it's
fair or appropriate," lawyer John Adair said. [snip]
