Usually colleges can only discipline you for off-campus activity if there is a reasonable link between the poor conduct and the University's mission.
Pretty much true for State funded colleges in the US. Of course, if a student is commiting offences on campus, or the offences are directly harming the University itself, (IE, theft of computers, lab equipment, serious vandalism or desutruction of university property, arson, etc) you will be expelled.
What if the student has not committed any offense, but was expelled for it?
Is such studnet, should have the right to fight for your good name in court.
That's what I like most in America, it is that every person or institution can sue for any wrongdoing, and win a lot of cash

This is an example of the absurdity of 'Zero Tolerance' policies that many public schools in the US have. Stuff like this happens all the time in US schools, abd the student usually gets expelled.
Weapons, or anything that could concievably be considered a 'weapon' are banned, and when found, are confiscated, and the student is either arrested or expelled. Same thing with drugs as well, to the point where if a kid brings a few tabs of aspirin or ibuprofen to school, they will be expelled for bringing in drugs.
