2009-2010 Undergraduate Bulletin (pdf) - LaGrange College

(For a complete description of the Social Code, its policies and processes,
please see the Student Handbook.)
The College reserves the right to dismiss at any time a student who, in its
judgment, is undesirable and whose continuation in the school is
detrimental to himself or his fellow student.
Furthermore, students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well as
College rules and regulations. A student is not entitled to greater
immunities before the law than those enjoyed by other citizens generally.
Students are subject to such disciplinary action as the administration of the
College may consider appropriate, including possible suspension and
expulsion for breach of federal, state or local laws, or College regulations.
This principle extends to conduct off campus which is likely to have
adverse effect on the College or on the educational process or which
stamps the offender as an unfit associate for the other students. A complete
description of student conduct policies, rules and regulations can be found
in the Student Handbook, which is published in the Panther Planner each
year. Copies of the Handbook are available in the Student Development
Office.
STATEMENT OF POLICY ON HARASSMENT
All members of the college community have the right to be free from
discrimination in the form of harassment. Harassment may take two forms:
(1) creating a hostile environment, and (2) quid pro quo.
A hostile, demeaning, or intimidating environment created by harassment
interferes with an individual's full and free participation in the life of the
College.
Quid pro quo occurs when a position of authority is used to threaten to
impose a penalty or to withhold a benefit in return for sexual favors,
whether or not the attempt is successful. Sexual harassment may involve
behavior by a person of either gender against a person of the same or
opposite gender. It should be noted that the potential of sexual
harassment exists in any of the following relationships: student/student,
faculty/student, student/faculty, and faculty/faculty. Here and subsequently
"faculty" refers to faculty, staff, and administration. Because of the
inherent differential in power between faculty and students, sexual
relationships between faculty and students are prohibited.
Sexual harassment may result from many kinds of behavior. These
behaviors may range from the most egregious forms, such as sexual
assault, to more subtle forms. Explicit behaviors include but are not
limited to requests for sexual favors, physical assaults of a sexual nature,
sexually offensive remarks, and rubbing, touching or brushing against
