Conduct System

The purpose of the University Housing conduct system is to protect and preserve the University Housing community standards established by both students and staff. 通过这种合作关系, both students and staff share equally in determining the kind of living environment that is most conducive to student growth and development. The conduct system provides a timely and orderly process for the investigation and adjudication of alleged violations of these community standards. Violations of University Housing policies may be adjudicated in one of the following manners:

1. A formal hearing with a Residence Director or Graduate Residence Director.
2. 一个正式的听证会，由住宿生活助理主任主持.
3. Students may be referred to the Dean of Students Office for any and all violations, 这可能会导致大学的处罚.

纪律制裁
The conduct system used by University Housing and the university is exercised as a part of the total learning process in the academic community. It is based on the premise that all individuals be held accountable for their behavior and operates based on a preponderance of evidence. The intention of the University Housing conduct system is to educate, not to punish. 制裁所有行为的目标是促进积极的行为, 负责任和建设性的行为改变.

在纪律处分发出之前, a student may receive a documented verbal warning from a University Housing staff member. The purpose of a documented verbal warning is to record that a conversation took place between a staff member and a student regarding a policy violation. An accumulation of three documented verbal warnings will be reviewed and may result in further disciplinary action. 书面口头警告的记录应存档.

如果学生收到转介，将举行听证会. If he or she is found responsible for violating a University Housing policy or policies, 可给予下列一项或多项纪律处分:

大学宿舍书面谴责 – The purpose of a written reprimand is to point out the responsibility to meet certain minimum behavior standards. If the same action or any other violation of the policies and procedures of University Housing is repeated, 将采取进一步的纪律处分. 书面训诫的记录要存档.

大学宿舍纪律警告 – This is a strong written warning indicating the resident can expect more severe disciplinary action if the same action or any other violation of the policies and procedures of University Housing is repeated. 纪律警告的记录要存档.

大学宿舍见习 – A resident placed on probation is not considered to be in good standing in University Housing, and any further violation may lead to suspension or dismissal from housing. 试用状态的记录要存档.

停租大学宿舍 – A resident is suspended from University Housing for a specific period of time during which all visitation privileges also are suspended. A written request must be submitted to the assistant director for residence life before readmission to housing can be officially approved.

被大学宿舍开除 -学生将被大学宿舍永久开除, 所有探视权都被取消.

Loss of privileges – Residents may be denied specific privileges for a designated period of time depending on the nature of the violation.

Educational class – A resident may have to attend an educational class as part of his/her sanction.

教育制裁 -居民可受到教育制裁，包括, 但不限于, writing a paper, 进行面试, 制作布告栏或海报, 社交媒体制裁, 和/或创建演示文稿.

学生成功或学术支持会议 - Residents may be required to attend one or more meetings with the Academic Support staff, 谁提供与课程作业和成绩相关的支持.

Assessments – Residents may be assessed for any damage they cause to University Housing property. 如果对损失负责的居民身份不明, 适当房间的成员, 楼层或建筑物将平均分摊损坏费用. University Housing service charges also may be levied against students who violate University Housing policies and procedures.

额外的制裁 -附加制裁, 比如社区服务, work assignments, reading assignments as well as sanctions not expressly listed in this handbook, also may be issued.

A student’s current disciplinary standing will be reviewed prior to issuing a disciplinary sanction. 行为制裁是渐进的. For example, if you are already on a University Housing warning and you are found responsible for violating another housing policy, the sanction issued may be the next level above the warning – either probation or suspension.

Appeals Process
A student may appeal their conduct hearing outcome under the following grounds:

• A procedural error or omission occurred that significantly impacted the outcome of the hearing (e.g. substantiated bias, material deviation from established procedures, etc.)
• 考虑新的证据, 在最初的听证会或调查期间不可用的, 这可能会严重影响最初的调查结果或制裁. A summary of this new evidence and its potential impact must be included.

A request for appeal must be submitted in writing within three (3) business days of the notification of the conduct hearing outcome. The appeal must be submitted to the person identified in the written notification of the decision, usually the housing or university staff member in the position one level above the individual who issued the sanction. Any questions regarding appeals for conduct sanctions may be directed to the Director of University Housing.
