Disciplinary Action
Violations of the above regulations and
rules subject students to the following types of
disciplinary action which are to be administered by the
appropriate college authorities. These disciplinary actions
are listed in degree of severity but not necessarily in
sequential order. Disciplinary actions may be imposed singly
or in combination. A student has the right to appeal any of
the actions through established procedures of due
process.
1. Warning - Notice to the student that
continuation or repetition of specified conduct may be cause
for other disciplinary action.
2. Reprimand - Notice to the student in
writing that officially recognizes a violation of the
standards of student conduct or campus rules. The reprimand
admonishes the student to avoid future infractions in order
to avoid additional formal action.
3. Probation - An official disciplinary
action which returns the offender to the college community
on a promise of appropriate future behavior. Any violation
of this promise mandates formal action.
4. Social Suspension - Social suspension
limits a student's attendance on campus to scheduled
classroom hours. Other privileges can be set forth in the
Notice of Social Suspension for a specified period of time.
The imposition of social suspension involves notification in
writing of the reason for social suspension to the
student(s) or president of the student organization
involved.
5. Disciplinary Suspension - Disciplinary
suspension follows a hearing based on due process of law. It
shall be invoked by the college president, appropriate
administrator or other staff members designated by the
president, upon students for misconduct when other
corrective measures have failed or when the seriousness of
the situation warrants such action.
6. Expulsion - An expulsion is a long
term or permanent denial of all campus privileges including
class attendance. The Board of Trustees may expel a student
after a hearing by a campus body or upon recommen-dation of
the Superintendent-Presi-dent. Permanent expulsion and
active prosecution shall automatically result for any
student found to be in possession of a gun. Board action is
not necessary in this instance.
7. Restitution - Reimbursement for damage
or for misappropriation of property. Reimbursement may take
the form of appropriate service to repair or otherwise
compensate for damage.
