2007-08 Academic Year - Humboldt State University

out, incessant arguing, intimidating shouting, and
inappropriate gestures.
Disruptive classroom behavior may, on the other
hand, result from overzealous classroom participation,
lack of social skills, or inappropriately expressed
anger at the course content. Sometimes
there is a thin line between controlling the learning
environment and permitting students’ academic
freedom, between intentional and unintentional
disruption. Faculty have the responsibility to maintain
a learning environment in which students are
free to question and criticize constructively and
appropriately. Faculty also have the authority and
responsibility to establish rules, to maintain order,
and to eject students from the course temporarily
for violation of the rules or misconduct.
The faculty member shall give at least one verbal
warning to a student to cease in-class disruptive
behavior. In cases of abusive behavior, this
requirement may be waived. In addition, if the inclass
disruption does not cease, an attempt shall
be made to resolve the problem in a conference
between the faculty member and the student. If
disruption occurs after these two measures are
taken, the instructor may file a complaint with the
office of the Vice President for Student Affairs
to initiate university disciplinary action which
may result in the student’s permanent exclusion
from the course and other disciplinary sanctions.
Ordinarily, if a student banned from a course has
passing status, the student will be granted a grade
of W—withdrawal.

“Sex Offenses” above include both stranger attacks and non-stranger rape/assault reports. The large majority of sex offenses reported
to HSUPD involve acquaintances rather than strangers. Alcohol, other drugs, and their effects are commonly used to perpetrate
acquaintance rapes at HSU and at other colleges nationwide. Research has shown that the majority of non-stranger rapes/assaults on
college campuses are not reported.
Relationship between “Arrest” and “Referral” Statistics - each incident is only counted once, as either an arrest or a referral: Overall
documented drug and liquor criminal activity was probably fairly constant from 2003 to 2004; UPD cited more violators in 2004 than
in 2003, resulting in higher arrest numbers and lower referral numbers on this report (although most arrests/cites also produce
referrals, these referrals linked to citations are not listed).
