Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group
I never post in this thing… Maybe I should fix that.
Anyway, this is another interesting story of consequences when traditionally accepted offline actions move online where they can be more easily monitored. (That said, it sounds like this guy is not completely guilt-free.)

Facebook : The New Study Hall For The Wired Generation?
Ryerson student Chris Avenir is facing expulsion for taking part in a Facebook study group for one of his engineering courses.
Study groups may be a virtual trademark of the Ivory Tower - but a virtual study group has been slammed as cheating by Ryerson University.
How is he NOT COMPLETELY GUILT-FREE? There were no solutions posted, no test answers posted, no evidence of “cheating”. I know because I’ve seen the site. How do you explain Ryerson charging him of 146 other counts of Academic MIsconduct?
