Unwillingness to change inappropriate behavior will result in punitive steps. Housing staff prefer not to deal with students in this manner, but if residents are unwilling to follow the rules of the community, they will be dealt with accordingly. The choice lies with the student. Through the process of discipline it is emphasized that it is the student's behavior that is not acceptable and must be changed. The student is still respected as a human being.
Inappropriate behavior occurs.
An incident report is filed by a Resident Assistant. For repeat offenders and for serious violations, the initial contact will be from the Student Housing Central Office. The purpose of the meeting is to gather all pertinent information about the incident. The student is asked to explain exactly what happened during the incident. After the student shares his or her perception, his or her role in the incident is examined by the RD with the incident report written by the staff members confronting the situation.
