If administrators must maintain some amorphous discipline or national security "posture" to prevent spaced out students from rioting or nuclear holocaust, then what right, what protections, exist? In this case, only a rumor and an anonymous phone call transformed a U.S. constitutional right into a Soviet style promise, redeemable only in a world of lofty words and glorifies lies...
