Student Handbook - Tougaloo College

Organizations whose charters have been suspended for a stated period of time under stated
conditions must adhere to the conditions, face additional delay of reinstatement, possible
permanent revocation of charter for repeated non-adherence to the conditions or other serious
behavioral problems. Suspension of charter means that the organization is not authorized to
operate on campus, at off campus sponsored college events, to recruit members, or promote the
organization’s identity (by wearing or displaying the organization’s clothing or insignia) or
activities. Additional conditions may be imposed requiring the organization to perform or refrain
from certain activities.
Revocation of a charter is an action by the College indicating a total and permanent separation of
the organization from the College. Revocation of a charter consist of a total prohibition of the
organization and its members/supporters to conduct any activity on the campus or at off campus
associated events that in any way promote the goals, purposes, identity, programs or activities of
the banned organization.
Individual students who promote the goals, purposes, identity (by wearing organization clothing
or insignia), sponsoring programs or activities for a suspended organization whose charters has
been revoked will be fined.
