Academic Policies
ABSENCE POLICY
Faculty members are at liberty to determine the
absence policy for their classes, except that at­
tendance cannot be required for classes or field
trips held outside the regular schedule.
Faculty
members should clarify their policy at the first
class meeting.
It is understood that absence does
not excuse a student from course work or responsi­
bility.
The Student Health Center will not issue medical
excuses for missing class for appointments or minor
health problems and suggests that students inform
their professors promptly of absences.

plaint (e.g., complaint against a professor, grade
problems, etc.), the following procedure is sug­
gested .
1.

Contact should be made with the instructor.

2.

If the student and the instructor cannot
settle the problem, contact should be made
with the Chairperson of the department.

3.

If the problem persists, the student should
contact the Dean of the faculty in which the
complaint is lodged.

4.

The next step in solving the problem, if nec­
essary, should be to contact the Office of

Filing a Complaint with APSCUF
The faculty union (APSCUF) has recently estab­
lished a system by which anyone may file a com­
plaint against a faculty member.
Contact the
APSCUF Office (McKay Education Building) for in­
formation or procedures. (Ext. 5563)

its resolution.
The department chairperson will forward the in­
formation to the dean of his school. The Dean will
then appraise the Office of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs who will then present the inform­
ation to the Coordinator of Student Standards for
inclusion in the student's disciplinary folder. If
the situation is serious enough that separation
from the college is a consideration, the faculty
member will then forward the charges to the Coordi­
nator of Student Standards for handling through
that office.

INCOMPLETE GRADES
The grade "incomplete" will be granted to a stu­
dent only if it can be demonstrated that it would
be unfair to hold the student to the normal time
limits of the course.
Illness or unusual circum­
stances are the usual bases for favorable consider­

PROGRAM ELIMINATION/CHANGES
If a program is to be eliminated, it will be
"phasedout", allowing an appropriate time period
for enrolled students to complete the requirements.
Program changes are common due to rapidly chang­
ing fields of knowledge and demands by various ac­
crediting agencies.
These changes are usually of
two types: 1) major program changes and 2) course
changes within a program.
Major program changes usually require the stu­
dent to complete the requirements of the old or new
program, but not take some of each.
It is possible
that a student following the old program may have
fewer class choices than might have been available
previously.
Course changes within programs are more common.
In these situations the student will normally take
the new course because the old course no longer
exists.
Generally speaking, every attempt is made to
keep from penalizing the student while at the same
time providing for an improved education.

CAMPUS SECURITY POLICIES
As members of the college community, students
should be aware that they are also members of the
general community and subject to the laws of that

community. At SRSC, Campus Security is the link
between the College Judicial System and the Civil
System.
Any reported violations investigated by
the Campus Security Department may result in cri­
minal prosecution, since the Department does have
arrest powers. The seriousness of the incident and
the student's cooperation and/or response will be
considered
in determining action to be taken.
The Campus Security files show that theft is the
major offense committed on campus.
Under Pennsyl­
vania statutes, theft ranges from a misdemeanor of
the third degree to a felony of the third degree.
The penalties for these offenses include fines up
to $15,000 and imprisonment up to seven years.
Disorderly conduct and underage drinking are the
next most numerous offenses handled by Campus Secu­
rity.
These offenses are often related in occur­
rence.
Under Pennsylvania statutes, disorderly
conduct is a summary offense and carries a fine not
exceeding $300 or imprisonment not exceeding ninety
days.
All violations of Pennsylvania's drug laws are,
at least, misdemeanor offenses.
Conviction or ar­
rest for misdemeanors and felonies are "record"
offenses, which means the court keeps on file a
copy of the preceedings. These files are open for
public examination and accessible to employers,
prospective employers, schools and others.
A new statute reads, "A person commits a misde­
meanor of the second degree if he recklessly en­
gages in conduct which places another person in
danger of death or serious bodily injury " Before
you commit yourself and others to "school pranks"
or possible violations, know the law and be aware
of the consequences.

DINING HALL STANDARDS
Good manners, proper behavior, and respect for
the rights of others are expected of persons who
eat in the campus dining halls.
Pledging and initiation activities, within given
boundaries, are permitted in the dining halls. Any
activity which would create a physical disturbance
and/or interfere with the rights of others will not
be allowed. Such things as loud singing or chant­
ing; formation of human chains, if they are disrup­
tive; and stacking trays would be considered nonpermissible behavior.
At the beginning of the semester, each organiza­
tion which plans to conduct pledging or initiation
activities in the dining halls must submit to the
Director of College Union/Student Activities a list
of organizational activities which it wishes to
conduct in the dining halls.
These requests will
be reviewed and permission granted for those acti­
vities which would not create a disturbance or in­
fringe on the rights of others.
In addition, the following
enforced in the dining halls:

W. Tennis-PSAC (Millersville) ( A )

Every time someone "beats" these procedures he
or she is increasing the costs for every person who
has paid the board fee. Your board fee is based on
the actual number of meals served, not on the num­
ber of residence hall students.
In other words,
whenever someone not on contract obtains a free
meal by using a resident's name, by stealing past
the checker, or by taking food from the dining
area, every student must absord the cost.
There­
fore, it would be in the best interest of the en­
tire College community if students would not trv to
"beat the system."

First Step
A student charging discrimination (grievant)
should first notify the Affirmative Action Officer
within 30 days of the date of its occurrence, or
when the grievant knew or by reasonable dilligence
should have known of its occurrence. The Affirma­
tive Action Officer will take the student's name
and address, and within 10 days, convene the Grie­
vance Sub-Committee. The Chairperson of the Grie­
vance Sub-Committee will assign a student member
and another member of the sub-committee to investi­
gate the grievance, and prepare it in the form of a
simple brief.
Within 10 days (if possible) or as
soon as practicable, the brief must be submitted to
the entire subcommittee for review. The sub-com­
mittee will attempt to resolve the grievance infor­
mally between the grievant and the person charged
by the grievant. Any persons accused of discrimi­
nation are to receive a copy of the charges pre­
sented.

HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
Affirmative Action Office - 204 Old Main
Phone: 794-7548 (Ext. 5548)
No qualified handicapped student may be excluded, on the basis of handicap, from participation in
any activity, program, or course of study at Slip­
pery Rock State College. Nor will he/she be denied
the benefits of such.
Reasonable modifications to non-essential academic requirements will be made to ensure full edu­
cational
opportunity for handicapped
students.
These modifications include:
extension of time
required to complete degree requirements, substitu­
tion of required courses, adaptation of the manner
in which specific courses are conducted, and elimi­
nation of any rules which prohibit a handicapped
person from using tape recorders in the classroom
or guide dogs on campus.
Slippery Rock State College will also ensure
that the mobility-impaired person will have access
to programs and activities and that those individuals with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking
skills will not be excluded from an education because of the absence of educational auxiliary aids.

IDENTIFICATION CARDS (I.D.)
College buildings and services are primarily for
use by members of the Slippery Rock State College
community.
Therefore, as a means of controlling
access, each student is required to have a Slippery
Rock State College validated identification card
(I.D.) in his/her possession at all times.
Properly validated 1.0. cards are to be used only by
the person whose name and picture appear on them.
An I.D. card must be shown before the student
will be allowed to enter a College function. Your
I.D. card is your admission ticket to the cafeteria
and your pass to sports events and campus activi­
ties. You need it to cash checks in town or at the

HEALTH INSURANCE
Student Affairs - 302 Old Main
Phone: 794-7274 (Ext. 5274)
Full-time undergraduate students are required to
be covered by health and accident insurance. This
may be done by the student through an independent
source, or the student may elect to purchase coverage through the Student Insurance Program sponsored
by the College. If the student does not purchase
school health insurance, he/she must sign a waiver
card which indicates the name and policy number of
his/her independent insurance company. This cover­
age must be comparable to that recommended by the
College. The College reserves the right to deter­
mine comparable coverage.
Brochures and waiver cards are available in the
Office of Student Affairs (302 Old Main) or in the
McLachlan Health Center, and are also mailed to

PETS ON CAMPUS
It is the policy of SRSC (Regulation //6) that no
dogs, cats or other pets will be permitted in any
institutional facility. Excluded from this are the
private residences of full-time college employees,
dogs to assist the blind, and animals required in
connection with laboratory activities. Pets should
be leashed and under the supervision and restraint
of the owner at all times while on campus grounds.
Stray animals found in buildings or on campus will
be turned over to the appropriate authorities by
the Campus Security Department. While every effort
will be made to identify and contact owners of
stray pets, responsibility for the pets rests with
the owners. Violation of this policy may result in

RECORDS AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, P.L.
93-380; and "Right to Know Law" PA P.L. 390)
Slippery Rock Sate College collects and retains
information about students in order to identify
students and to aid in their educational develop­
ment. The College recognizes that each student has
a right of privacy and the College, therefore,
exerts careful control over what information may be
disclosed under the terms of the federal Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act and the Pennsyl­
vania "Right to Know Law."
However, the College
will exercise its right to collect legitimate in­
formation about students in order to fulfill its
educational mission.
The College adheres to the stipulations set
forth in Public Law 93-380 (1974), which is com­
monly known as the "Buckley Amendment." This law
contains provisions which give students and the

parents of financially dependent students the right
to inspect the student's file, "including all mate­
rial that is incorporated into each student's rec­
ord but is not necessarily limited to, identifying
data, academic work completed, level of achievement
(grades, standardized achievement test scores);
attendance data, scores on standarized intelli­
gence, aptitude and psychological tests, interest
inventory results, health data, family background
information, teacher or counselor ratings and ob­
servations, verified reports of services or recur­
rent behavior patterns."
Generally, these records
would include discipline, placement, financial aid,
academic, and other official records.
The College also adheres to the conditions con­
tained in the Pennsylvania "Right to Know Law."
P.L. 390 (June 21, 1957), which places similar and
additional responsibilities upon state agencies.
This information is a general abstract of the
content and spirit of these two public laws. How­
ever, it should be recognized that certain stipula­
tions contained in these laws are controlled by
practical considerations such as the specific na­
ture of the records sought, the specific definition
of the parties enabled to see them, the procedures
left to the discretion of the College, the use of
informal non-judicial hearings to settle disputes,
and the enforcement problems of the Commonwealth or
the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
Both the "Buckley Amendmept" and the "Right to
Know Law" can be read in complete or abstract form
in the offices of the Vice Presidents of Academic
or Student Affairs.
Only information relevant to the student's edu­
cation may be included in files and records.
No
record will be made of race, religion, political or
social views, or organizational membership not re­
lated to the college community unless such infor­
mation is supplied voluntarily by the student.
Information from a student's file will not be
released without the prior written consent of the

Prior consent to release information will in­
clude: an application to another institution for
enrollment purposes, and application for teaching
certification, or an application for employment in
which SRSC is mentioned. Also, prior consent will
be inferred whenever a student applies for member­
ship in an organization which requires a minimum
Grade Point Average or is selected to such an or­
ganization.
Records will not be retained beyond graduation
or final departure from the College except in the
following cases:
the academic record; financial
records, as long as an obligation to the College
remains or as long as the federal and state ac­
counting system requires; medical, counseling, and
psychiatric records may be retained, subject to the
limitations on disclosure imposed by normal rules
for privileged information; the placement record;
the Student Standards Office records for five years
beyond date of most recent incident.
Inter-office transfer of records should be han­
dled with care and attention to the security of the
records. The exact method to be used in insuring
the security of students' records is the responsi­
bility of each office.

REQUESTS TO REPORT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE
OFFICE
Students are required to comply with reasonable
requests or orders by College officials or repre­
sentatives acting in behalf of the College.
This
includes reasonable requests for students to keep
appointments with administrators and those College
officials conducting a disciplinary investigation.
These requests will be complied with promptly; fai­
lure to do so could result in disciplinary action.
In urgent matters, when the request to report at
a specific time conflicts with a student's sche­
dule, an excuse for class absence by the student
will be issued by the appropriate office.

RESIDENCE LIFE (HOUSING) OFFICE
Rhoads Hall, ground floor.
Phone: 794-7355 (or Ext. 5355)
Residence Life Philosophy
There are two major philosophies behind college
housing of students.
The first is that students
are mature adults who are responsible for their
actions.
Students, therefore, will be treated as
tenants and will interact with the Residence Life
Office on a landlord/tenant basis.
The second philosophy of college housing is an
educational philosophy of student development which
maintains that residence halls are not merely pla­
ces to eat and sleep.
Rather, they are environ­
ments in which students grow and develop through
out-of-class learning experiences and participation
in various activities on the personal, special, and
academic levels. A variety of living/learning pro­
grams are conducted in the residence halls in an
attempt to achieve these objectives.

RESIDENCE HALL RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Guide to Residence Hall Living contains all
rules and regulations pertaining to campus resi­
dence halls. These regulations are applicable to
both residents and non-residents who visit in the
residence halls.
Enforcement of housing regula­
tions is to be carried out by the residence hall
staff.
Only students assigned to the residence halls
have the legal right to be in the buildings.
All
others are considered guests and must leave if in­
structed to do so by the Residence Hall Staff
(Resident Coordinator, Resident Advisor) or Campus
Security. Failure to obey a request by hall staff
to leave a residence hall could result in a charge
of "defiant trespassing" being filed at the Magis­
trate's Office and/or disciplinary action.
Violations of residence hall regulations may
subject the student to residence hall and/or col­

dent to any refund and the student or his parent(s)

determine if the eviction should continue or
be dismissed.
Fire, Fire Alarms, Fire Drills
All fire alarms, when sounding, should be con­
sidered as a fire alert and the building must be
evacuated immediately. Students and their guests
must evacuate the building. Failure to do so will
result in disciplinary and/or legal action.
Fire extinguishers are placed in strategic loca­
tions in all
buildings.
Misuse of, or tampering
with fire equipment is considered a criminal of­
fense. All offenders will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law, and will be subject to
college disciplinary action.
Fireworks, Lethal Weapons, Open Flames
The use of fireworks (firecrackers, caps and
sparklers) is not only potentially dangerous to
oneself and others, but also a disturbance to the
living environment. For these reasons, as well as
Pennsylvania Law, the use or possession of fire­
works, explosives, or any other substances which
may injure, discomfort, or disturb other indivi­
duals is strictly prohibited.
The unauthorized use or possession of dangerous
chemicals, explosive materials, dangerous devices
capable of casting a projectile or other lethal
weapons is strictly prohibited on Slippery Rock
State College property.
Open flames of any sort, including the burning
of incense and candles, are not permitted in any
college residence hall.

freedom to schedule an "open house" for that resi­
dence hall on Monday through Thursday, 12 noon to
midnight, and 12 noon Friday to midnight Sunday,
providing that the residents and guests abide by
the regulations governing open house.
Specific rules, regulations, and penalties gov­
erning open house will be posted on the bulletin

the Resident Coordinator has the right to terminate
open house if violations become excessive. It will

Visitation is permitted for periods of reason­
able duration for purposes of studying and social­
izing. Use of the residence hall for sexual inter­
course is not condoned and members of the opposite

unless they are married and are renting an apart­
ment in a residence hall. Also, any sexual conduct
obvious and offensive to others, or any use of vis­
itation which infringes on the rights of a roommate
to have full use of the room may lead to expulsion
from the residence halls.

TICKET POLICY (Activities)
College Union/Student Activities events are fi­
nanced through Cooperative Activities, which de­
rives its resources from student funding. However,
due to the caliber of activity programs, limited
seating in campus buildings and the spiraling cost
of various artists, it is necessary that methods of
control be instituted.
Ticket policy and prices
will be determined, and publicized, according to
the type of event sponsored by the Office of Stu­
dent Activities (794-7535).

I
[

_

The College reserves the right to exclude all
visitors from its grounds, especially in times of
crisis or emergency.
Any person who has been suspended or dismissed
from the College for disciplinary reasons, or whose
record prohibits readmission without special clearance, does not have visiting privileges on the campus.
Any student who is placed on temporary sus­
pension may also be prohibited from visiting the
campus.
Violators of this policy will jeopardize
their chances for readmission and will be subiect
:c criminal prosecution for trespass.

as all required and recommended supplies for all
graduate and undergraduate classes.
At the end of
each semester we offer a "book buyback" service so
that students may sell their unneeded texts for
cash .
In addition to textbooks and school supplies,
the bookstore also sells a wide variety of general
reading books, references, teacher aids, art sup­

non-refundable service charge paid, in order to
open an account.
This agreement is mailed to each
student during the summer and is to be returned to
the bookstore with the $3.00 service charge. When

ethical definition of "non-profit" refers to how
profits are used, not if they are generated.)
Among these enterprises are 1) motor pool, 2) Book­

COUNSELING & TESTING
107 Maltby Center
Phone: 794-7233 (Ext. 5233)
Counseling is a learning experience which en­
courages students to exercise Wealthy life styles
and to question some of the assumptions which are
considered so absolute. Counseling helps students
to cope with personal and educational reality. It
supports
those
who
are
temporarily
confused.
Through counselors, some basic skills are taught to
effect changes in behavior which the individual
selects for his or her own welfare.
We discuss
these concerns with the students on an individual
basis, always hoping to strengthen individual selfawareness and decision-making. We also assist stu­
dents with basic training in how to be more effec-

118

tive helpers for others.
The counseling center serves and administers
tests for students, faculty, administrators and
staff for their classes, research projects, or for
their own self-undersLanding.
If something is bothering you and you don't want
to share it with a friend, your hall advisor, fam­
ily, resident director, faculty or advisor, another
place to go "just to talk" is the Student Counsel­
ing Center.
DUPLICATING SERVICES

FACULTY COUNCIL
The Faculty Council is a representative body of
the Faculty of SRSC.
The Council is involved in
participating in matters that relate to the estab­
lishment of College policies and programs to foster
better communications among students, faculty and
administration, and that contribute to the common
good of all members of the college community. The
Council has a commitment to vigorously support and
engender a climate of academic excellence on the
college campus.

119

To this end, the Council is organized into con­
stitutional committees to more efficiently resolve
concerns brought to its attention. Of these com­
mittees, there are two which handle matters per­
taining to student welfare and, as such, have stu­
dents as voting members and active participants in
committee proceedings and deliberations:
A. COMMITTEE ON STUDENT WELFARE
This committee, whose membership includes four
students elected by SGA, considers problems as

student welfare (e.g., housing and dining
facilities, social activities, and those mat­

1ife).

Student Food Committee

Man m u s t evolve f o r all h u m a n conflict a m e t h o d which rejects revenge, aggression
a n d r e t a l i a t i o n . The f o u n d a t i o n o f s u c h a m e t h o d is love.

The Student Food Committee acts as a liaison
between members of the Food Service and the student
community. Each residence hall House Council ap­
points a representative to the Student Food Com­
mittee.
The committee meets regularly with the
contractor, or the contractor's authorized repre­
sentative, to exchange ideas and information of
mutual interest. Since the Student Food Committee
is your committee, refer your suggestions through
these channels.

Special Diets

HEALTH SERVICES

Special diets are prepared for students upon
presentation of a statement from the College phy­
sician or nurse practitioner.
Students should see
the Food Service Manager to arrange for special
diets.
Student Food Contract
The board rate (contract) only covers meals when
the college is in session.
Students
who
are
required to remain on campus during college recess
periods (including student teachers) may purchase
meals at the transient rate.
Arrangements must be
made in advance.
Experience has indicated that not all students
eat every meal.
If it were not for this fact, the
amount paid for board would be much higher.
To
protect you and to insure that those paying for
meals are receiving them, certain procedures have
been instituted. A Food Service employee has been
designated to check all students in the servine
5
line.

and others who make possible the education of these
pledges and members, 3) the community where the
organization is accountable for good citizenship
and, 4) the student organization, fraternity or
sorority system of which it is a part.
A student organization, fraternity or sorority
without morally or ethically sound precepts and
practices is not a constructive influence upon col­
lege students.
Any unproductive, ridiculous or
hazardous initiation custom has no place in the
college.

members of all recognized student organizations

133

will observe and fully comply with the position
statement on Hazing (which follows).

Fraternity Secretaries Association and the Code of
Responsibilities of the National Fraternity Con­
ference. In addition, all students are expected to
adhere to regulations set forth by their respective
national fraternity, IFC, and Panhellenic Council.
It is the responsibility of the officers of student organizations to be informed of all organi­
zation requirements and the Hazing Policy, and to
see that they are brought to the attention of the
rest of the membership.
Hazing Policy
No student organization, fraternity or sorority
shall permit its pledges or members to submit or
take part in hazing, as hereinafter defined, or
vulgar or indecent practices, or any practices
which involve personal hazard or danger.
For this purpose, hazing is defined, without
limitation as to definition, however, as follows:
1.

Hazing as a public display shall consist of
any and all forms of public appearance which
may result in adverse publicity to the or­
ganization.

2.

Hazing as physical abuse shall be interpret­
ed to mean any practice, whether internal or
external, which is apt to be detrimental to
the health and/or well-being of a pledge or
member.

3.

Hazing as moral indignity shall be defined
as actions which by their ethical, moral
and/or social implications, when viewed in
the light of socially accepted standards of
134

right or wrong, may create in the individual
a feeling of humiliation and/or disgrace.

-

4.

I
_

Hazing as scholastic interference shall con­
sist of any and all practices which place
pledges or members in the position of being
unable to attend or properly prepare them­
selves for classes.

the above regulations will be referred to the Of­
fice of Student Affairs, and will be subject to
college disciplinary action.
Any fraternity or sorority which violates any of
the above regulations will be referred to the Greek
Review Board.
This board will have the authority
to deny a pledge class, revoke a charter, or impose
other penalties as deemed appropriate.

tion to protect the welfare of their members,

to the sanctions of this document.
In addition,

the provisions of law, in addition to the sanctions
of this document.

III.

Rights and Prohibited Conduct

to limit or restrict students' freedom of speech or
peaceful assembly. Nor shall any student member of
the College community be subjected to limitation or
penalty solely because of the lawful exercise of
these freedoms.
Free inquiry and free expression
are indispensable to the objectives of an institu­
tion of higher education; and, to this end, peace­
ful, reasonable, orderly demonstrations in approved
areas shall not be subject to interference by the
members of the College community.
However, those
involved in demonstrations may not engage in con­
duct that violates the rights of any member of the
College community.
These rules shall not be construed to restrain
controversy or dissent, or to prevent, discourage,
or limit communicatin between and among faculty,
students, staff, and administrators.
The purpose
of these rules is to prevent abuse of the rights of
others and to maintain public order appropriate to

the College community shall serve to restrain or
inhibit the exercise of these freedoms.
1. The principle of academic freedom requires

acknowledge another's right to express dif­
fering opinions, to cultivate and to cherish
intellectual honesty, and to promote freedom
of inquiry and expression on and off campus.

Student Standards will determine whether the
charge warrants further consideration.

filing the charge disagree with the Coordinator
of Student Standards, he or she may request, in
writing, that the Vice President for Student Af­

may request, in writing, that the Coordina­
tor of Student Standards refer the charge
and all information to the Vice President

153

for Student Affairs.

and information indicate further investiga­
tion or action, he/she will refer the case
to the Hearing Board (V,D).

cides
that
the
charge
warrants
further
action, he/she shall proceed by one of the

a.

b.

determines that the charge is of such
nature that conviction would subject the
accused member to possible separation or
dismissal from the college, the Coordi­
nator of Student Standards shall refer
the case to the Hearing Board.
However,
if the accused states in writing that
he/she agrees to accept the decision of
the Coordinator of Student Standards
without appeal, then that administrator
may effect the penalty.

Prior violations of the Code of Conduct, the
student's academic performance, and other
similarly unrelated facts may not be used to
determine whether the accused has committed
the particular act presently under consider­
ation.
They may, however, be used after
the determination of guilt or innocence in
order to set an appropriate penalty.

8.

After the hearing, the accused may file a
written brief to the Vice President for
Student Affairs if such is his/her desire.
Notification of this intent must be stated
by the accused at the hearing. If so stated,
the Vice President for Student Affairs will

The accused may appeal the Hearing Board's
recommended decision to the college Appeal
Board under the conditions and stipulations
of Section V.G.

11.

The accuser shall have the right to appear
as a witness, to state the charges, and be

dence and the questioning of the witnesses.
If the hearing is closed (See V.E. 6a.),
the accuser may have one observer or advisor
from the College community of his/her choice
present at the hearing.

F. Other Considerations for College Hearings
1.

If the accused refuses to participate or
fails to appear at a hearing, the Hearing
Board will hear the case on the basis of
the evidence accumulated as a result of the
investigation.

2.

If the accused refuses to participate or
fails to appear, the accused's advisor shall
not be permitted to participate beyond a
brief opening statement.

Board shall have the option of conducting a
hearing, with the accused present if poss­
ible.

4.

The President of the College shall appoint
additional adhoc hearing boards and appeal
boards if required in emergency situations.
Such boards shall follow the same procedures
and have the same representative composi­
tions as the annually constituted Hearing
Board.

160

eal
The accused has a right to appeal the action
taken by the Vice President for Student Af­
fairs. Such appeal would be for determining
the fairness of the finding of guilt and/or
propriety of the penalty.
It is not simply
to provide a second hearing for the case.
A written appeal must be filed with the
Coordinator of Student Standards within five
days, excluding weekends and official Col­
lege holidays, of receipt of the notifica­
tion of the action of the Vice President
for Student Affairs.
The appellant must
state as clearly and as fully as possible
the reasons for seeking modification of the
decision. (See V.G. 5.)
After filing the appeal (during the appeal
process) the accused may petition the Vice
President for Student Affairs for reinstate­
ment of all or part of his/her rights and/or
privileges which were denied by the action
being appealed.
Such reinstatement will
usually include only participaton in the
student's academic pursuits.
The College Appeal Board will be constituted
annually at the beginning of the academic
year and shall consist of the following:
a.

A
student
appointed
by
Government Association.

b.

A faculty member appointed by the Facul­
ty Council.

c.

A chairman appointed
of the College.

The decisions of the Appeal Board will be
reached by a simple majority vote and shall
be presented to the College President as a
recommendation within three days, excluding
weekends and official College holidays. The
President shall make his decision after re­
viewing all recommendations and supporting
materials. The decision of the President is
final. The decision will be relayed to the
accused and
the Coordinator of Student
Standards who will notify appropriate indi­
viduals, as defined by this document, and
maintain all records as required by this
document (See VI).

7.

The Appeal Board may remand a case, dismiss
some or all of the charges, affirm the Hear­
ing Board decision, or reduce the penalty
imposed.

8.

In no event may an appeal result in the im­
position of a more severe penalty for the
accused.

a

The Appeal Board shall review the hearing by
the Hearing Board to determine:
a.

Whether the original board's process was
conducted fairly and in accordance with
prescribed procedures;

b.

Whether there is new evidence or rele­
vant information not available at the
time of the original hearing which, if
consequential, shall result in a remand­
ing of the case to the original board;

c.

Whether the origirial decision is
ported by substantial evidence;

d.

Whether the College regulations alleged
to have been violated were properly in­
terpreted or applied by the original
board.

e.

Whether the sanction imposed was fwoportionate to the gravity of the miscon­
duct.

If the Coordinator of Student Standards de­
termines that no action is warranted; and
if, after a reasonable period, there is no
appeal of this decision, all records and
documents shall be returned to the indivi­
duals or agencies which supplied them. The
