A student got kicked out of my PhD program. As far as I know, there was not one specific problem, and the professors indicated it to be an issue of "overall performance" (even though this student was never on probation or failed a class).
Has anyone had experience with this? Any stories to share?
(I am just trying to make sense of the whole situation as best as I can. Personally I'm extremely sad because this student was a great person, and not a slacker by any means)
