Federal Investigation into university's handling of sexually related crimes = 1 excuse

Hahahaha must be exactly what it is

Exactly. School judicial board could still find probable cause and enforce the suspension from school. He will need to go before the judicial board prior to reinstatement which means he likely still won't be back for a month or so, if at all.

Student judicial board might place him on 'double secret probation'.

That would be a huge mistake to keep him out after letting AJ and Williams back in after being charged.

Meh. His lawyer is throwing names around to help light some fires (finally). If the KPD couldn't find cause to charge him, then the school could be looking at a lawsuit in refusing to reinstate him. They could still continue their investigation but lift his suspension based on a lack of evidence.
