Did your college or university drug test students that were not athletes?

Talk to a lawyer

the critical issue would be if the pipe was visible in the room, or there was significant odor/weed residue, at least enough to look in a top drawer or something

There definitely wasn't odor, they were all out of town when they found the pipe. The pipe wasn't found on my friends son's side of the room. He wasn't kicked out for the pipe...he was kicked out for testing positive. I just never heard of colleges drug testing regular students. I could understand if he was an athlete.

it is possible that as a part of their dorm housing agreement they agreed to a drug test or search in some capacity. it is unfortunate to think about, but someone may have snitched, as well.

I would agree with the poster above, that the next and immediate course of action would be to contact a lawyer and start an appeals process within the university office/department that handles these kinds of issues.

Did it occur to you to talk to a lawyer instead of seeking advice at some random message board?

Legal problems at that level require legal experts. Use common sense buddy , i'll give you a clue: they don't sell common sense at your local pharmacy. Jeez!

So all of these kids were old enough to be sent off to war or choose to go to war, but we don't trust them enough to make their own choices about marijuana? Weed is most likely on its way to being legal in most states in the near future, but we want to potentially permanently damage these people's futures by kicking them out of college for smoking when they were OFF campus, presumably in another state or country??

what is the point of that?

let FREEDOM RIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!

I went to college in the 1970s.

America was not yet a police state at that time.

We were free. We smoked weed openly.

Public or private university?

Why would he talk to a lawyer about his friend’s son? Use common sense, buddy.

That’s the point. We saw how you turned out. It’s not pretty.

Probably did them a favor by kicking them out of school.

If they drug tested everyone at my school more than half the student body would be expelled.

Because most likely his "friend" is himself. Are you that naive? Get it?

You, of course, have no idea who I am or how I turned out.

WE do know this about you, based on your statement. You are a bit short on clever/
