Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Due Process
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants-University officials' motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendants violated plaintiff-student's due process rights when defendants dismissed plaintiff from its dental school on account of his poor academic record. Record showed that plaintiff had failed certain required courses and had been placed on academic probation at time of dismissal. Moreover, it is enough where, as here, plaintiff was informed of nature of faculty's dissatisfaction, and that faculty made careful and deliberate decision to dismiss him. Also, plaintiff was provided with procedure consisting of seven layers of appeals, which was sufficient to satisfy any due process rights.
