Summary:
"A W&J student was disenrolled for holding up a disrespectful sign during a women’s basketball game targeting a player on the opposing team, college officials said Sunday.
In a statement posted to Facebook, W&J Dean Eva Chatterjee-Sutton said the sign held up in the student section was meant to harass and hurt a Westminster player during the women’s basketball game on Saturday. The student was immediately removed from the game and as of Sunday, was no longer enrolled at the college, Chatterjee-Sutton said.
The sign held during the game read “10-14-13”, the date of a Westminster player’s father’s death."
[PS: This differs from many "offense" cases, but not all, because the offense or infliction of emotional distress was intentional.]
