Disciplinary Process
Standard of Conduct
Whatever one’s obligations may be, it is important that he/she know exactly what is expected of him/her. This
is especially true in regard to the college community, where group living and constant interaction require
some reasonable regulation. These standards are not easily met nor are they arbitrary in nature, but they do
reflect the college’s responsibility to provide the finest possible education to those who genuinely wish to
pursue a meaningful learning experience.
Accordingly, William Jewell College has established the following guidelines for student conduct, indicating
behavior which is subject to disciplinary action:
1. Dishonesty, whether cheating, plagiarism or knowingly providing false information to the college.
2. Forgery, alteration or misuse of college documents, records or identification.
3. Obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, or disciplinary procedure
4. Physical abuse of any person on college-owned or controlled property or at college-sponsored or
supervised functions; conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person.
5. Rape and date rape as most broadly defined by Missouri State Law and William Jewell College.
6. Theft of, misuse of, or damage to college or personal property by a member of the college community
or campus visitors; possession of stolen property.
7. Unauthorized entry to, use of or exit from college facilities.
8. Violation of college policy or campus regulations with regard to registration of student organizations,
use of college facilities, or the time, place, and manner of expression.
9. Use, possession, or distribution of narcotic or dangerous drugs, such as marijuana, steroids, or cocaine,
except as expressly permitted by law.
10. Violation of the College’s regulations regarding alcohol use on the campus or at any college function.
Unacceptable campus behavior subsequent to off-campus consumption of alcohol is interpreted by the
College Conduct Committee as evidence of being under the influence of alcohol. Such behavior, when
brought to the attention of the college, will be subject to disciplinary action.
11. Violation of rules governing residence in college-owned or controlled property.
12. Misuse or abuse of fire safety equipment including fire alarms, smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers.
13. Disorderly, lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct on college-owned property or at college-sponsored
functions.
14. Failure to comply with directions of college officials acting in the performance of their duties.
15. Conduct that adversely affects the student’s suitability as a member of the academic community.
The college reserves the right to address inappropriate behavior that does not clearly fall within an identified
Standard of Conduct. Residential students should also refer to Policies and Procedures for Residence Hall
Living.
