This sucks!

I hate that our protagonist got expelled for what happened to the trustee, but shit does roll downhill.  It's not like the President of the university was going to risk being blamed for anything, so a scapegoat had to be utilized.  This will be the beginning of the main character's actual bildungsroman, the one that takes him from a part of the world around him to where he is at the novel's beginning - hiding in a hole and invisible.  You just know it's going to be a tortuous journey.
