Except the policy in question was never actually abused as the student did not receive an API key as requested. A proportional response would be a simple denial for API key and reminder of policy. Not preventing a student from graduating. Unless the student is lying here, this is an outrageous response on the part of UW.

Not necessarily lying, TFA could just be misrepresenting/misunderstanding what happened, without intent. Lying implies intent.
