Any student who commits any of the following acts of
misconduct shall be subject to disciplinary action by the college. These
regulations shall apply only where a student’s misconduct has adversely
affected some college process or function or some other distinct and clear
interest of the college as an academic community. College disciplinary
proceedings may be instituted against a student charged with violation
of a law which is also a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. For
example, if both violations result from the same factual situation, without
regard to the pendency of civil litigation in court or criminal arrest
and prosecution, proceedings under the Student Code of Conduct may be carried
out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings
off-campus.
