Glad they got their guns back. IMO I would keep my head down and get my degree then I would never give them another dime.

What may be interesting is the impact on DONORS and especially ALUMNI DONORS.
Here is an avenue that pro-2nd-amendment folks in that area should beat the drum on.....
In my experience, Universities are ALL about the $$. Create a campaign to subtly reduce their donations because of their lack of support for "civil rights" and you will get more done quickly on our behalf.
You identified part of the issue yourself. If they decide to stick around Gonzaga for post-graduate work, they may well still be under probation.
And if they apply to another school for an advanced degree ... law school comes to mind ... they will be asked about any offenses or disciplinary issues that may have arisen. And not disclosing is cause to be expelled from law school (I have a friend who went through that sorry process several years ago). And disclosing this type of offense could take them out of the running for many top schools, law, medicine, etc ...
And, when I went through my own security clearance review many years ago, you bet the investigators were asking about any disciplinary issues / offenses in college .. as if they didn't already know.
We have probably heard the end of this. The students already got a fairly low-grade punishment for a clear violation of a serious school policy, the appeal might make a slight change, but nothing earth shattering. The students got their guns back and can finish school.
Moral of the story: When you sign something saying you will abide by a Student Code of Conduct (or any other contract), make sure you read and understand it, especially as it relates to firearms. If you don't like the policies, don't enter the agreement.

Hah, hah... me too.^ That's when you end up like me, fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
Turns out, this has already been mostly resolved.
Both students are on probation, meaning they are in classes etc. but if they have another violation of the student code of conduct, they are likely to be expelled.
They had a lawyer, no reports of ANY attempts to take legal action. The police officer who responded to their 911 call is reported to have testified on their behalf at the disciplinary hearing.
The student are appealing the probation through the university process, but not suing or anything like that.
Doesn't seem like the students or their lawyer think there was anything legally amiss and they are returning to school.
