GENERAL BIOLA POLICIES & PROCEDURES SECTION 2.8<br />

Advertising<br />

Advertisements are divided into permitted and non-permitted categories, either commercial or non-<br />

commercial.<br />

• Permitted commercial advertising is permitted only in the Chimes, on KBBK radio or in the<br />

<strong>Biola</strong>n (this includes banks, restaurants and coffee houses, theaters or other entertainment<br />

establishments, housing rentals and merchants).<br />

• Permitted non-commercial advertising is permitted through campus flyers and posters (this<br />

includes all <strong>University</strong> based/sponsored events, churches, faculty/staff/student personal sales<br />

and services, <strong>University</strong> sponsored political and government groups and charitable<br />

organizations).<br />

• Non-permitted, non-commercial advertising includes those representing non-<br />

Christian/religious groups/cults and non-faculty/staff/student sponsored political groups or<br />

organizations.<br />

Grievance and Appeal Process<br />

It is the desire of the <strong>University</strong> that grievances be resolved at the lowest level possible and that the<br />

grievance procedure be as expeditious as possible. In accordance with the Biblical injunction<br />

(Matthew 18:15), there should be an attempt made to resolve any grievance informally with the person<br />

or office with whom the grievant has a complaint.<br />

There are two distinct grievance and appeal processes open to the student, and the process used will<br />

depend on the nature of the grievance. The first type of appeals relates to academic matters— grades,<br />

academic dishonesty, classroom procedures, tests, assignments and related matters. The second type<br />

relates to general grievances and appeals, including alleged sex, race, handicap or age discrimination<br />

and appeals of disciplinary actions taken by <strong>Biola</strong>.<br />

A complete copy of the CSICS Grievance and Appeal Process Statement is available in the<br />

CSICS Dean’s office.<br />

Pornography Issues<br />

<strong>University</strong> policy forbids exhibition, possession, or distribution of material or representations<br />

deemed to be obscene or contrary to the moral standards and/or mission of the <strong>University</strong>, including,<br />

but not limited to, pornography. Further, the use of institutional or personal computers for the viewing,<br />

transmission, retrieval and/or storage of such material are a violation of <strong>University</strong> community<br />

standards and will result in disciplinary action. As with other sexual conduct outside the confines of<br />

marriage, viewing of pornography is inconsistent with the teaching of Scripture. As with other sexual<br />

misconduct, we will seek to be redemptive in the lives of the individuals involved. Consequently, the<br />

<strong>University</strong> will offer counsel and assistance to support and strengthen the individual‘s resolve to live<br />

consistently with Christian teaching on sexuality.<br />
