Kennan's record makes it certain that he will be heard...
...penalty. A student on probation can't represent the College publicly on any athletic team, any dramatic program, musical program, anything of that sort, cannot be an officer in an organization, is subject to immediate closing of probation, which is severance, either for academic or disciplinary reasons during that period.
