In the Fall of 1996 the Rights and Responsibilities Committee was created and charged by the Office of the President with clarifying concerns surrounding the rights and responsibilities of students and of Keene State College. Two major projects have come out of committee discussions. The statement should explain to students what their rights and responsibilities are as a member of the Keene State community. Student rights and responsibilities has been a theme in the Speak Out, Future Search and Our Plan campus planning sessions.
Success is dependent on the understanding that with rights come responsibilities.
In attending KSC, you have the right to certain expectations that will support your educational experience. The College must do all it can to advance intellectual as well as personal growth, and you have a responsibility to assist in creating an atmosphere conducive to this growth. Working together, a group of students, faculty members, administrators and staff wrote this brochure. It explains what you deserve from Keene State College, and it lists the responsibilities you accepted when you joined the KSC community. We've explained how we've used certain terms, and we've made suggestions for working through the problems that sometimes occur in community life.
