STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT:
It was moved by Roger Busfield, seconded by Mrs. Katharine Hofsted and
corried that the following new Student Code of Conduct be approved:
I. GENERAL POLICIES
A. Philosophy of Student Conduct
1. A student enrolling in Central Michigon University assumes an
obligation to conduct himself in a manner compa tible with the
University's function as on educational institution and agrees
to abide by the regulations and policies of the University.
2. The University distinguishes its responsibility for student con­duct
from the" control functions of the larger community. When
o student hos been apprehended for the violation of a law of
the community, the state or the nation, the University wi II
not request special consideration for the student because of
his stetus as a student.
B. Responsibility for Governing Student Conduct
1. The Boord of Trustees is the legal authority for the control of
student conduct at Central Michigan University. The President,
as its executive offlcer, is the final outhority in all discipline
cases.
2. The Dean of Students is the designated offlcer responsible to
the President for student conduct. All misconduct of students
is reported to the Dean of Students or to persons designated by
him to receive such reports.
C. Procedural Foirness
1. Procedural foirness is basic to the proper enforcement of all
University rules. Practice in disciplinary cases may vary in
formolity and the sonctions which may be applied, and offenses
may be dealt with summarily if the occasion requires. Generally,
procedural fairness requires that the student be informed of the
nature of the charges and the source of evidence ogain5t him,
that he be given an opportunity to meet such chorges and evidence,
and that he be oHorded the opportunity fOl" appeal.
2. Minor penolties including those for localized offenses within
recognized student organizations or University residence units
may be imposed by properly designated student judiciol bodies.
43
3.
Such penalties moy be submitted to the Dean of Students Office
for review and, in such cases, become final only when approved
by the latter offi ce.
Disciplinary decisions of such judicial bodies may be appea led.
