2017-2018 CIU Student Handbook

50

the university’s attention. Generally, CIU jurisdiction and discipline shall

extend to all conduct, whether on or off university premises, that adversely

affects the university community and the pursuit of its objectives. The

dean of Student Life shall decide whether any particular case involving

off-campus or out-of-term behavior merits consideration; that is, whether

the alleged behavior so adversely affects the university community and the

pursuit of its objectives that disciplinary action should be instituted.

B. A Student Review Committee has been established to respond to violations

of the CIU Student Handbook (hereafter called “Community Standards”).

The committee is comprised of three faculty members and four current

students and is chaired by the associate dean for Student Life. A minimum

of five committee members must be present at each meeting.

C. The dean of Student Life, or designee, will serve as advisor to the Student

Review Committee. The advisor manages the disciplinary process and

ensures that it is in keeping with university policy. The advisor does not

make determinations nor impose sanctions.

D. Academic matters involving academic integrity, cheating, plagiarism, etc.,

are under the jurisdiction of the faculties and the deans of the various

colleges. Further, this Student Life Disciplinary Process is not intended

to respond to violations of professional standards in the professional

schools of counseling and education. However, behavior that violates

the Community Standards may also be in violation of academic and

professional standards. Thus, students may be found in violation of the

Community Standards and may also be found, by their respective faculties

and deans, to be in violation of academic and professional standards.

E.

Residence Life matters involving behaviors in the halls as outlined in

the Residence Life Handbook are under the jurisdiction of the director

of Residence Life. The director may refer students to the advisor (see C.

above) for behaviors that also violate the Community Standards.

F.

A mediator may be designated by the dean of Student Life to mediate

disputes within the student community in cases which do not involve a

violation of the Community Standards or in cases that are best addressed

through mediation. All parties must agree to mediation. Issues may be

resolved without a hearing on a basis acceptable to the dean of Student

Life if all parties involved consent to such a process. If the issues cannot

be resolved by mutual consent, the dean of Student Life shall refer the

matter to the Student Review Committee. The decision to pursue matters

through the disciplinary system ultimately lies with the dean of Student

Life on behalf of the university or with the student complainant in some

circumstances.

III. Disciplinary Measures

Disciplinary measures that may be imposed:

Fine:

Various fines may be issued for damage to campus or residence halls, or for
