Notice of Sanction Review Outcome

The written Notice of Outcome will include the finding by the Sanction Review Committee as to whether there is a Campus Code of Conduct violation specific to Prohibited Conduct, the rationale for the result, and a brief summary of the evidence on which the decision is based, as appropriate. Where there is a finding of a violation, the Responding Party will be informed of any sanctions, the date by which the requirements must be satisfied (if applicable), and the consequences of failure to satisfy the requirements. The Reporting Party will be informed of any sanctions and remedies that directly relate to the Reporting Party, including information about the Responding Party’s presence on campus (or in a shared class) that may help a Reporting Party make informed decisions or work with the College to eliminate Prohibited Conduct and prevent its recurrence.

Any Interim Protective Measures will be replaced by issued sanctions and any remedies identified as appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator.

Both parties will be informed of the appeal process.

Sanctions for Student Disciplinary Cases

Sanctions as delineated in the Campus Code of Conduct will be used in cases investigated and adjudicated in this procedure.   Further, the College will use the same appeals process noted in the Campus Code of Conduct.

• Verbal Warning (reprimand): A verbal communication given to the student or patron by a College Agent to cease a behavior or action deemed inappropriate or possibly a violation of the Campus Code of Conduct. The issuing College Official should document the issuing of a verbal warning, including the incident and the student’s/community patron’s name.

• Written Warning (reprimand): A written communication which gives official notice to the student or community patron regarding the offense noted and that any subsequent offense of the Campus Code of Conduct will carry heavier penalties because of the prior infraction.

• Interim Suspension: Exclusion from class or other privileges or activities as set forth in the notice until a final decision has been made concerning the alleged violation.

• General Probation: A minor disciplinary offense may result in this penalty which allows the student to show the willingness and capacity to observe the Campus Code of Code without further penalty. If a second penalty occurs during the probationary period further action can be taken.  The probationary period can be in effect for no more than 2 academic terms.

• Restrictive Probation: A major disciplinary offense or series of violations may result in a loss of good standing and a matter of official record (transcript notation) denoted by this sanction. Restrictive probation limits the student’s/patron’s activity on the campus and within the college community. The student  cannot  be initiated  into any  local or  national organization,  receive any college award or recognitions, occupy a position of leadership or travel with any college student organization. Further, the College may restrict any student’s access to campus or use of campus services and facilities. Restrictive probation is for a period of not less than 2 academic terms. Any violation of Restrictive Probation orders may result in immediate suspension.

• Restitution: Paying for damage, misuse, destruction, or loss of property belonging to the College, College personnel, student, or contract agent for the college.

• Suspension: Exclusion from class (es) or all other privileges or activities of the College for a specified period of time. Reserved for offenses which warrant discipline more severe than probation or for repeated misconduct.  Students receiving this sanction may have additional criteria to be completed before requesting readmission to the College.  Students must have written approval from the Vice President to return to the College.

• Expulsion: Dismissing a student from campus for an indefinite period. Loss of student/patron status means that the individual will not be permitted on the College property, may not register for any course (basic skills, curriculum, and continuing education, occupational or corporate) and may not participate as a citizen in any college sponsored event. The President of the College must issue any expulsions.  The individual may be readmitted to the College only with the written approval of the President, and Vice President of Enrollment and Student Experience or the Vice President of Academic Programs.
  

Sanctions Involving Employee Violations

Employees found responsible for violations of this procedure will be sanctioned following the college policy,” Disciplinary Action, Suspension and Dismissal (C200.94.22.20).” Sanctions for violations of the Sexual Misconduct Procedure vary depending on severity from formal written warning to dismissal. Employees found responsible for violations will be afforded due process through the Due Process procedure (C300.00.22.01B).

Remedies

Title IX Coordinator will identify long-term or permanent remedies to address the effects of the conduct on the Reporting Party, restore the Reporting Party’s safety and well-being, and maximize the Reporting Party’s educational and employment opportunities. Such remedies should seek to restore to the Reporting Party, to the extent possible, all benefits and opportunities lost as a result of the Prohibited Conduct. Title IX Coordinator will also identify remedies to address the effects of the conduct on the College community.

Additional remedies or supports may be included in the sanctions, such as reassignment or removal of the Responding Party from a class or a campus location.
