Student Code of Conduct Revision Presentation to AGC (1of 3) February 11, 2014
Seeking AGC Endorsement • The Student Code of Conduct is not an academic policy • Both academic and general, therefore follows a unique process • AGC specifically to provide input on direct academic components (Academic Dishonesty and Classroom Conduct) • Seeking Endorsement and Recommendations • Post AGC Endorsement, moves to Cabinet for final review
Review Process/Team • Faculty focus groups spring ’13 • Smaller review team: • Bethann Talsma, Business faculty • Jenni Klutts, Adjunct faculty (Biology)/Assistant Athletic Director/Professional Tutor • Deb Sanders, General Counsel Office • Evan Macklin, Student Life and Conduct • Eric Mullen, Associate Dean, Enrollment Management • Tina Hoxie, Dean of Student Affairs • Input from Associate Deans, Bill Faber and Paula Sullivan • Sent to DHs/PDs for additional input
Primary Focus Areas for AGC • Academic Honesty • Classroom Misconduct • Student Right’s section
Academic Dishonesty & Classroom Conduct Sections • Made consequence sections consistent • Improved language around process for both areas • Clarified sanction options
Added Student Rights Section • Concern from the BOT that there is nothing on the books stating Student Rights • Seeking feedback • What are we missing? • Is anything misrepresented? • Does it cover what we need it to cover?
Summary Other of Major Changes • Formatting • Removed Athletics section – moved to their handbook • Removed Student Organization section – moved to their handbook • Added definitions for Accused student, Complainant, Cyber Stalking, Cyber Bullying, Student Group or Organization • Edited definition from “school days” to “business days” • Added Interpretation and Revision section (very last section)
General Conduct Changes • Rearranged (put in alpha order) • Added Bullying and Sexual Misconduct sections • Expanded sanctions section
Process Updates • Expanded language • Afforded both parties equal rights • Change to appeal process • Appeals of Reprimands would be a written review by the Dean only (no hearing committee) • Seeking input on this decision
