Disciplinary Offenses Committed by a Student with a Disability
Students with disabilities are expected to abide by the same disciplinary
policies that are outlined in the Student Handbook as are non-disabled students.
While the disability may explain inappropriate behavior by the student, it does
not excuse the behavior; therefore, students with disabilities are subject to
any appropriate and necessary disciplinary action, including suspension or
expulsion. Generally, through appropriate due process procedures, institutional
disciplinary measures will be imposed for conduct which adversely affects the
institution’s pursuit of its educational objectives; which violate or show a
disregard for the rights of other members of the campus community; or which
endangers property or persons or the institution or institution-controlled
property. Any conduct which constitutes a danger to any person’s health, safety,
or personal well-being, including physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats,
intimidation, harassment, coercion or any other conduct which threatens or
endangers the health or safety of any person is subject to disciplinary action.
