In extraordinary cases where a student’s behavior poses an immediate threat to the safety, well-being, or integrity of members of the College community (including guests and visitors), the College reserves the right to take immediate disciplinary action, including interim suspension or expulsion.
Such action will only under the following conditions:
1. The student’s conduct represents a serious violation of the College’s community standards, such as extreme harassment based on personal, protected, or sensitive information;
2. The behavior significantly disrupts or impairs the operations of the College or the fairness of a College-sponsored activity;
3. There is a compelling institutional interest in taking immediate action, as determined by the Vice President for Student Affairs or President of the College.
A student subject to such action will be:
1. Notified in writing of the reasons for the decision;
2. Given the opportunity to appeal the decision to a designated College administrator within 10 business days;
3. Afforded the right to a full conduct process as soon as is reasonably practicable, unless the student waives this right.
In rare and egregious cases, the President may determine that permanent separation from the College is warranted without further conduct proceedings, provided that:
1. The student’s actions are clearly documented and rise to the level of extraordinary misconduct; and
2. The President has consulted with the VPSA, general counsel, or other relevant administrative officials, as needed.
Such authority will be exercised with restraint and only in cases where immediate action is necessary to uphold the integrity, safety and values of the College.
