Something is rotten on campus — all over the country. If you want to understand what, read this disturbing article by David French in National Review Online about a college student in Texas who committed suicide after being disciplined by college administrators, and whose father is suing the university.

French is scrupulous in making clear what is known and not known about this case, and in conveying both sides of the legal argument — and in saying that of course it’s impossible to know for sure why the student killed himself. But it seems clear that college administrators’ violations of basic due process played a role in the tragedy. As French wrote in a December 2016 NRO article, “Universities and federal bureaucrats are together systematically violating the constitutional rights of students and professors. The stories are legion, the legal standards are unconscionable, and it’s past time for other branches of American government to step in and set things right.”
