operations of the College.
During interim suspension, the student may be denied access to student
residences and/or to the campus (including classes) and/or all other College
activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible. A
determination of the appropriateness and the extent of the interim suspension
shall be made in the sole discretion of the Dean of the Faculty, Dean of Co-
Curricular Life or the President of the College. Whenever interim sanctions are
imposed, a hearing by the Judicial Committee shall be convened at the earliest
reasonable possible time after the imposition. In the sole discretion of the Dean
of the Faculty, Dean of Co-Curricular Life or the President of the College, the
interim sanction may remain in effect until a final decision has been reached,
including completion of the appropriate appeals process.
c. In any extreme or clearly dangerous situation, the judgment of the
President of the College suffices to enforce a decision of temporary
suspension and removal from the College until a hearing before the
Judicial Committee can be arranged. This procedure will be accomplished
as quickly as possible. The College further reserves the right to exclude at
any time, following established procedures that protect individual rights,
any student whose conduct or academic standing it regards as
unacceptable in a community of scholars and students. Any student
accepting a place in the Sweet Briar College community should know that
the College will not tolerate illegal acts or extremes of social behavior
which ignore the right of others or are injurious to the individual, the
community, or to the College itself.
IV. Standards of Non-Academic Conduct
A. Introduction
1. Sweet Briar College students are expected to exemplify the Honor Principle in
all areas of their non-academic life in the Sweet Briar community. The Non-
Academic Judicial Process is the disciplinary process for non-academic
conduct violations.
2. If a student is simultaneously charged with an Academic violation and a Non-
Academic violation that the Chairwomen determines arise out of the same facts
and circumstances, the matter will be handled through the Academic Judicial
process. Standards of conduct are not exclusive to their respective areas. Under
certain conditions, Academic standards may apply to Non-Academic situations
and vice versa.
3. If a student is involved with or formally contacted by the Judicial Committee
concerning a judicial process or proceeding (i.e. hearing, witness, juror, student
advocate) she is bound to confidentiality concerning any process or procedure.
B. Non-Academic Conduct Violations
Actions or offenses that constitute violations of the Honor Principle related to
Non-Academic Conduct include, but are not limited to:
1. The repeated and/or serious violation of Co-Curricular Life procedures (see
Section IV).
2. The intentional actual or attempted assault of another member of the College
community.
