Don't expect detailed answers ...
Federal law prohibits all public and most private universities in the
U.S. from disclosing disciplinary information about students. Also, at
many (most?) universities, the university disciplinary committee makes
the final decision about what is what is allowed and what is
prohibited (not individual university staff such as sys admins or
professors).
I personally I'm not completely happy with the federal law's secrecy
requirements, but it is the law. I am glad that most universities try
to provide due process to students who request it.

* About the CAF mailing lists (and newsgroups)
A description of the comp-academic-freedom-talk mailing list. It is a
free-forum for the discussion of questions such as: How should general
principles of academic freedom (such as freedom of expression, freedom
to read, due process, and privacy) be applied to university computers
and networks? How are these principles actually being applied? How can
the principles of academic freedom as applied to computers and
networks be defended?
