Actually rustication is just a temporary version of being sent down. Flapdragon 00:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- At least in the U. S., "suspension" and "expulsion" are pretty universally understood as defined e.g. here:
- Suspension: "Loss of student status for specified period of time."
- "Expulsion from the University is the permanent termination of an individual’s status as a student, with the loss of all rights and privileges appurtenant thereto."
Isn't "rustication" just a synonym for "suspension?" Dpbsmith (talk) 18:16, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- No, this is explained int he article. One's movements are restricted, and it literally means being confined to the countryside. I beleive it is more common as part of the traditions of old British Universities, hence the bias of the first half of the article. 86.128.121.119 18:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Burton was not "rusticated", but rather "sent down", or permanently expelled. --70.33.111.150 (talk) 15:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Should Jon Snow from Liverpool University be included? That section already explains that "rusticated" is only used at the three old universities.
