Is "Due to" a Cause/sufficient indicator as in a Q-card

[lathlee]

Hi. Dave, and Powerscore

i saw this in one of the Q-card that Powerscore sells which i currently lost all my Q-cards in my house or somewhere in my house where i cannot find.

Anyways, principaL: "Due to the study done in Harvard research team, the school decided your son's punishment for vandalizing school property would be reduced than an original punishment we informed you couple days ago... "

Harvard research team's research (cause) ----> my son's punishment reduced (effect)

is this correct way of thinking?

Yes, lathlee, "due to" indicates a causal relationship. Good job! If X is due to Y, then you can say that Y caused X.
