COURT WIN: Judge Grants Order of Stay for WSU Athlete
Washington State defensive lineman Robert Barber has been granted a stay of his suspension and allowed to return to the classroom and football field. Barber’s attorney Stephen Graham’s main argument centered on how WSU’s conduct board destroyed any record of questions Barber and his adviser proposed during Barber’s conduct board hearing. Graham alleged that because WSU did not follow its administrative procedures in destroying the questions and thus, the University Appeals Board did not have a complete record from which to make their decision on Barber’s appeal. “It was a good morning and I think the court did right by him, Robert goes to class tomorrow as an actual, full fledged student, none of this online (classes) second class, not-quite-a-Coug stature.” Graham said.
