Disciplinary Actions Against Those Who Commit Sexual Assault

A student suspected of an alleged sex offense is subject to both criminal prosecution and disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy. Disciplinary action can be initiated even if criminal charges are not pursued. Both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding, and both shall be informed of the outcome.

Please see the Student Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy for a description of each type of disciplinary proceeding and standard of evidence that will be used during any institutional disciplinary proceeding arising from an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. The policy also includes a list of possible sanctions that the College may impose following the results of any institutional disciplinary proceeding and the range of protective measures that the College offers to the victim following an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking.
