OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Conviction of felony after end of academic period.

- Although the Drug-free Postsecondary Education Act of 1990, O.C.G.A. § 20-1-20 et seq., does not require the suspension of a student convicted of a felony involving the illegal use of drugs when the conviction occurs after the end of an academic period but prior to the commencement of the following academic period, the policy manual of the board of regents would permit such disciplinary action during the pendency of criminal charges or after final conviction. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-21.
