More details to this question:
He redid paper and passed course but Department wants to take disciplinary action anyway. Have strung this out over 6 months with harassment, threats, hearings, and still no resolution. He is having anxiety and affecting current studies. Treating him like criminal. He is a minority and is being singled out when others also self referenced. Making mountain out of molehill, he is living in fear of college expulsion and permanent mark on record. What type of law is this?

It's not criminal law, that's certain. Public universities must comply with disciplinary regulations and must afford due process, so I would engage an attorney who speciailizes in college disciplinary matters. It's not appropriate for me to recommend a specific attorney, but there are those who do that type of work.
