DUI Tampa - DUI Means Expulsion from U of Florida

Got DUI - Get Expelled: "UF looks beyond campus for DUI cases - They may try to hide it from Mom and Dad, but University of Florida students caught driving drunk in Alachua County won't be able to hide it from UF administrators. This month, UF began regularly monitoring off-campus DUI convictions. Students convicted of DUI in the county won't just face criminal courts, they'll go before UF's Office of Student Judicial Affairs, where they could face suspension or expulsion.

Student Judicial Affairs already hears between 30 and 40 on-campus DUI cases each year. But that number will likely go up now that UF is looking beyond its borders, said Eugene Zdziarski, UF's dean of students. First-time offenders in the system are typically suspended from school for a year, Zdziarski said. Repeat offenders, however, can face expulsion, he said."
