Good morning.
Days before graduation, a University of Chicago student was expelled for sexual misconduct.
— After a relationship ended because he had been abusive, he took advantage of his ex-girlfriend at a party when she was intoxicated.
— She got a no-contact order against him when he booked a room at the same hotel as her for a spring break trip in Mexico. On the trip, she still felt like he was trying to be as present as possible.
— The expelled student, whose name The Maroon isn’t publishing at her request, is appealing the decision. He was suspended from the Sigma Chi fraternity when he came under investigation, and he was expelled from the fraternity when he was expelled from the University.
