'North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple has signed SB 2150 into law, providing students the right to be represented at hearings at their own expense. Joe Cohn of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) says his group worked with a bipartisan legislative group to get the bill passed.

"We think it’s really important that states are starting to recognize that without lawyers able to actively represent students in these campus disciplinary hearings, students are being railroaded out of school,” he explains.'
