<p>The legality of operating under preponderence of evidence rather than true due process would depend entirely on whether it's a public or private school. Since I believe we're talking about Florida State, it could be argued that any potential deprivation would be on behalf of a government actor. Cutting through all the legal mumbo jumbo, this means that he is entitled to due process in accordance with the Constitution. At a minimum, he must be provided notice (of the charges against him, etc.), which he has been, as well as an opportunity to be heard. Beyond that, the amount of due process to which he is entitled would have to be determined by a court, unless precedent has already been established.</p>
