Patsy was a York University student, a privately owned engineering college. During the school year Patsy was arrested by York City police for attending a demonstration against the government's position on climate change. When Patsy attended her arraignment hearing the charges were dismissed by the Court with the consent of the district attorney. When York University's Dean, Luke Fewell, learned of Patsy's arrest he expelled Patsy, telling her that her conduct was an embarrassment to the fine principles of "this great institution."

After graduating from York University, Patsy passed York's civil engineering examination and formally requested her license, but the York State Engineering Board ("YSEB") refused to issue the license citing Patsy's arrest and expulsion from the university. If Patsy sues YSEB in a federal court for an order directing YSEB to license her, the court should find for:

Select one:

a. YSEB, because a license to practice engineering is a privilege rather than a right.

b. YSEB, unless Patsy first attempted to sue in a state court and was unsuccessful.

c. Patsy, only if YSEB's action is found to be arbitrary and capricious.

d. Patsy, because YSEB's decision deprives Patsy of property without due process.
