YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics policy on student-athlete discipline states the following: “Any student-athlete convicted of or pleading no contest to a felony charge or a gambling or game fixing charge under Michigan law or any other jurisdictional equivalent shall be permanently dismissed from the team.”
Accordingly, James Still is dismissed from team activities. The student-athlete discipline policy allows for an appeal process should the student athlete so choose.
Federal privacy regulations prevent the University from speaking specifically to the situation involving Mr. Still's admission to the University. However, EMU takes the safety of its campus seriously and has an admissions process that balances the safety and security of campus with the goal of providing an opportunity to individuals who have made mistakes in the past.
A student who indicates that they have criminal charges pending against him or her is not automatically precluded from admission to the University. An Admissions Review Board reviews their application and makes a determination regarding admission.
