Violations
 

A student who violates college regulations regarding conduct may be sanctioned by warning, social probation, probated suspension, restitution, curfew, special sanction, community service, suspension, or expulsion. The nature of the offense will determine the severity of the punishment.

The procedure for suspending or expelling a student is the same. A student who has broken a regulation may be referred to the Student Life Hearing Panel. The student will be given written notification of a hearing at least three days before the hearing is scheduled. He/she will also be informed of the charges against him/her and of his/her right to legal counsel. The Panel will hold a hearing and make its recommendations regarding disciplinary action. Appeals may be made in accordance with the Student Handbook and the published policy of the Board of Regents.

Any student who is charged with or indicted for a violation of state or federal law is subject to disciplinary action by the College while the case is pending. When very severe violations of state or federal law occur, a student may be administratively suspended until the hearing is concluded.

Any student who is guilty of violating college regulations or who is financially indebted to the college will not be eligible for readmission until he/she receives the appropriate clearance. Under these circumstances, a student’s ineligibility for readmission will become a part of his/her record.

In addition to the Student Code of Conduct, which may be found in the Student Handbook, the following stipulation exists:

Notwithstanding any provision of this Code, the President is authorized to review any student discipline case and take such action as he deems appropriate with respect thereto. His review may be based upon (1) the record made before the Student Judiciary; (2) oral or written arguments made to him by the parties or their representatives; (3) a denovo evidentiary hearing before him substantively following the procedures set out herein for hearings before the Student Judiciary; or (4) any combination of the foregoing methods. A student defendant may appeal the decision of the President in writing to the Executive Secretary of the Board of Regents within a period of twenty days after the President’s decision and shall cite all reasons for dissatisfaction with the previous decision.
