Washington State football player Robert Barber has filed a petition for review asking the Whitman County Superior Court to overturn the suspension handed down by Washington State University’s Student Conduct Board.
Barber’s attorney, Stephen Graham, said the petition was filed Wednesday afternoon, and it includes a request for a stay of Barber’s suspension, which – if granted – would allow Barber to return to the classroom.
Barber, a fifth-year senior defensive tackle, is one class away from graduating with a degree in criminal justice, but has been suspended from school since last Friday.
Barber’s suspension was the result of a WSU Conduct Board sanction as punishment for allegedly assaulting and concussing another WSU student at an off campus party in July.
