If you used any other pronoun other than "they" it would be is and faces

The student also faces charges. S/He faces charges. They face charges. - this is only because we're conditioned based on they being plural.

Yeah? The pronoun is what causes it to be plural. This is how the grammar works. I don't understand what your argument is here.
