Whittaker was unable to be reached for comment before publication.
Davis did say that in any case such as this one there are several steps the college takes. The student is immediately removed from campus, including all classes and campus privileges.
"That is the safest thing for us to do in those cases," said Davis. The student is then given a hearing with in 10 days of the incident.

In addition to a hearing on campus in the coming days Carson will also appear in Caledonia County Court to answer to the charges.
