Probably not, concludes a report released May 15 by the Indiana Education Policy Center at the IU School of Education in Bloomington. The report finds that although the use of suspension and expulsion for non-dangerous behavior places an increasing number of students at risk for being removed from school, those risks are in no way justified by the results of the policy. http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/ocm/releases/zerotolerance.htm SPORTS: MEN'S BASKETBALL NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE - IU men's basketball coach Mike Davis announced the 2001-02 non-conference schedule.
