In this episode of Ed Rights Unplugged (formally known as Legally Blind Justice), we provide a clear, practical overview of school discipline in both K–12 and higher education, highlighting the critical differences between these two frameworks. We examine the most common types of disciplinary cases, including behavioral allegations, academic integrity matters, and Title IX–related issues, and explain who makes the decisions, from principals and administrators to conduct offices and hearing panels.
Listeners will learn the foundational principles of due process, what schools must provide, how disciplinary timelines work, and why delays or inaction can significantly harm a student’s position. We also address a key question families often underestimate: when a matter is truly “minor,” and when it can create a lasting disciplinary record that follows a student for years.
This episode is designed to help families and students understand the players, the process, and the stakes so they can recognize when early, informed action is essential to protecting educational rights and long-term opportunities.
