  • rejecting \the bald assertion that any student who is suspended from college has suffered a deprivation of constitutional property\
  • explaining that recognizing the plaintiff’s claim of a standalone “entitlement to fair procedure . . . would dissolve the requirement of showing a deprivation of life, liberty, or property as a precondition to complaining about a denial of due process”
  • rejecting “the bald assertion that any student who is suspended from col- lege has suffered a deprivation of constitutional property”
  • stating because every “student who was not admitted would have a right to a hearing on why he was not admitted; but also because the Supreme Court requires more”
