UConn said in a statement:
Federal student privacy laws prevent UConn from discussing potential discipline cases involving individual students.
Generally speaking, any UConn student found to have violated the Student Code of Conduct can face penalties ranging from probation to expulsion.
In general, students who face discipline can ask UConn to schedule an administrative hearing on their case before it takes action or imposes penalties. The university typically accepts such requests.
UConn can also take interim steps during that process to restrict a student’s participation in campus life and activities.
