#student code of conduct

[frontpagewoman]

“Memorial High School has a longstanding tradition for its rising juniors to have special dress days during the week before finals to celebrate the fact that this student class will soon be seniors. MHS junior class officers worked together with students and administrators to create approved Monday-Friday dress-up themes: Hippie, Jersey, 2000s, USA/America, Hawaiian.

On Tuesday, some rising juniors wore inappropriate dress and body/hair decorations as part of an alternative, unapproved response to the theme day. As a shared expectation about the theme was clearly violated, MHS has cancelled all remaining dress theme days for the remainder of this week.

While the majority of rising juniors followed the approved dress theme on Tuesday, any instance of an inappropriate or offensive dress violation will not be tolerated. Students found to be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct and dress code will be given a consequence.”

Northwestern U shows that it IS possible for universities to fight antisemitism

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

The report indicates that, unlike the bare minimum that has been done on other campuses, Northwestern has taken the problem seriously. It expanded its police force, disciplined 11 students for breaking protest policies and fired a staff member “for violations of the staff policies.”

The Student Code of Conduct policies have been strengthened significantly:

The new Intimidation Standard explicitly prohibits subjecting another person or group to abusive, demeaning, harassing, humiliating, intimidating, threatening or violent behavior that substantially affects the ability of the person or group to learn, work or live in the University environment. Examples of violations to this new policy include physical threats, verbal or written communication to threaten violence, the use of symbols, words or graphics to threaten violence, acts of doxing, and abusive behavior toward a University official or agent acting in performance of their duties, among others. It also prohibits engaging in abusive, demeaning, harassing, humiliating, intimidating or threatening behavior that excludes a student from joining or participating in a student organization. The Failure to Comply Standard has been updated with specific examples and to make clear that students are required to comply with the requests, directives and instructions of University officials acting in performance of their duties. Under this policy, students must identify themselves, including removing face masks or coverings for purposes of identification when asked by an authorized University official who is addressing law or policy violations and health or safety concerns. The updated and renamed Misuse of University Properties policy more clearly defines misuse, including unauthorized access to athletics fields and construction sites and attending or participating in an event in University spaces that violates the policies governing that space.

The Destruction of Property Standard has been updated to broaden the definition of what applies under this policy to include tampering with University property.

All of these are common sense. None of them violate freedom of speech. It appears that Northwestern has not buckled under to threats by the haters.

Notice also that adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism is a major part of their successful program. The people who claim that somehow the IHRA definition endangers Jewish students have no data to back them up - Northwestern has data showing that it works.

EarHustle411 would like to maintain the thought that most children when they are out of the sight of their parents they are on their best behavior. While to think such a thing may be a bit naive however EarHustle411 and majority of the writing staff are parents.  We can only wonder what the parents of the children in the following video think about this.  This type of behavior is just one of…

Florida St to use outside official in Winston case

Associated Press |

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State will use an independent official in the student code of conduct hearing of quarterback Jameis Winston.

No hearing date has been set. A female student accused Winston of rape stemming from a December 2012 encounter.

University spokeswoman Browning Brooks says in a statement Saturday the independent officer will be used to “ensure an absolutely fair and impartial process, and to avoid any conflict created by the ongoing federal investigation and threatened civil litigation.”

Three independent officers will be presented. Winston and the woman have the option to eliminate one of them.

Winston was not arrested or charged when police and the state attorney conducted their investigations. The university on Friday released a timeline of events defending its investigation.

STU's code of conduct could affect off-campus activities

University to review policy document this month

St. Thomas University’s new student code of conduct could cover on- and off-campus activities during the school year and summer break.

A draft of the new code was presented to the St. Thomas University students’ union for review, and will go to the university’s senate in mid-September. The university hopes to implement it by October.

A review of university policies was ordered following the death of a student last October which involved drinking and allegations of hazing in residence and off-campus.

The 44-page document is a collection of existing academic and athletic policies as well as policies not written down previously.

STU vice-president academic Barry Craig said the extension to off-campus behaviour is limited... Read More
