Student Code of Conduct: Compliance Updates Completed

The Student Code of Conduct has undergone a compliance review and the following changes have been made:

1. All binary language was removed to ensure that all students at Monroe Community College could relate to the policies and procedures listed therein;

2. Per the SUNY Ban the Box legislation that went into effect in January 2018, Monroe Community College is required to collect information about misdemeanor and felony arrests of students if they occur while a student is enrolled at the institution. Language to satisfy the SUNY requirements has been added.

3. For compliance and best practice, the appeals process for students who have been held responsible for a violation of policy has been updated to include use of a gatekeeper (to ensure the grounds for appeal are acceptable) and a panel (more than one individual who will review a student's submission).

4. For compliance and to match our practice, additional language has been added regarding the College's jurisdiction over online use, as it relates to threats, bullying or other types of violations, while also considering a student's rights under the First Amendment.

5. Updated and more clear language surrounding the College's use of interim sanctions, as recommended for compliance.

6. Creation of a new policy violation "Sexual Misconduct - Public Exposure" that covers the following: voyeurism and public sex acts.

Please feel free to review the new document at: www.monroecc.edu/go/conduct. You can also find it in the College Catalog.
