Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Colleges often decide whether to suspend or expel students with very little of what lawyers refer to as due process , it is a set of rules and procedures that the authorities must follow in order to ensure that the decisions they make are fair and just.

The right to due process has its foundation in the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which provides that no one may “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Because this “Due Process Clause” constrains what is know as government actors, and state colleges and universities are government actors, this means that students at state universities have constitutional due process rights that their universities are not permitted to violate them in the course of conducting student disciplinary proceedings.
