Cory Matthews:
He made a move on Topanga. On my fiance. He used his power and authority to take advantage of her and he told me that there was nothing I could do and he was never going to stop. So, I did something. I mean I-I-I realize Dean that this wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do but it was all I could come up with at the time.

Dean Lila Bolander:
Striking a member of this faculty is inexcusable. No matter what the provocation.

Shawn Hunter:
Can I just say something real quick?

Dean Lila Bolander:
Yes?

Shawn Hunter:
Cory, it's okay with me that you hit him.

Cory Matthews:
Thanks, Shawn. [to Dean Bolander] It's okay with Shawn.

Dean Lila Bolander:
Well, it's not okay with me. According to the bylaws of this university I am bound to expel or suspend any student for striking an educator for any reason whatsoever.

George Feeny:
Dean, I beg you to reconsider this.

Dean Lila Bolander:
George. Sit down. You can't protect them anymore. Cory Matthews, I hereby suspend you from this university for a period of one day.

Stuart:
One day?

Dean Lila Bolander:
You are, however, under probation for the remainder of this term and I will not take kindly to your solving any more problems with anything but words.

Cory Matthews:
No, you don't have to worry about it Dean. Thank you.

Stuart:
Dean, he hit a teacher!

Dean Lila Bolander:
A teacher must be someone a student can trust. The second a teacher uses pressure on a student for any reason whatsoever, other than academic... that trust is destroyed.

Stuart:
Well, there must be some misunderstanding because as a teacher I...

Dean Lila Bolander:
Stuart! [points at Mr. Feeny] *This* is a teacher Stuart. I'm not sure what you are but you can be certain I'm going to find out.
