XI. DISCIPLINEThe Student Life Department desires to provide students with leadership and an atmosphere suitable for discipleship. Staffwill seek to help students to mature and to develop self-discipline. Throughout the school year, discipline may becomenecessary to assist in this growth process. Discipline may be preventative or remedial, depending upon the nature of theoffense and the attitude of the student. Disciplinary action may include campusing, work duties, accountability, counseling orother measures deemed appropriate. In some cases, it may become necessary to suspend or dismiss students.It is important to realize that our desire is to help students grow into conformity to Christ. One indicator of a genuine desire tochange is whether or not a student comes forward on their own or is caught. Another indicator of a genuine heart is whether ornot they tell the truth. These indicators, as well as others, will be taken into consideration when taking disciplinary action.As stated earlier, Scripture teaches us that punishment and discipline are not end goals when dealing with sin. Our objectivemust be biblical restoration as stated in Galatians 6:1. Realizing we are all tempted by sin, the believer can move towardsanother with understanding and humility, calling them away from the dangers of sinful choices. In all disciplinary matters, thestaff will seek to pursue an approach that harmonizes both compassion and correction. seeking what is deemed to be in thebest interest of both the individual and the wider Bible Institute community.A. Disciplinary objectives1. To teach obedience to the Word of God. God holds us accountable for obedience to the standards that He hasrevealed to us in His Word. We believe that discipline should cause students to consider their actions andattitudes and to bring them into alignment with biblical directives. Hebrews 12:10-132. To promote harmony. As in any community, certain “house rules” must be established to avoid chaos. In somecases, individual liberties have to be limited if this is to be accomplished. Romans 12:10; Philippians 2:3-43. To teach self-control. One of the characteristics of spiritual maturity is self-control. Not all offenses are theresult of sinful actions on the part of the student but may be a matter of the student learning and growing incertain areas of his or her life. Galatians 5:23; Titus 1:8; 1 Corinthians 9:254. To model restoration as we seek to help students abandon sinful or destructive attitudes and actions (1Thessalonians 5:14), be forgiven, and restored to a right relationship within the Body of Christ.B. Biblical confrontationThe purpose of confrontation is to direct students’ attention to a particular problem in order to help them make thenecessary changes in keeping with Biblical Mandates or Institutional Policies. The course of action taken will bebased on the principles set forth in 2 Thessalonians 5:14, which include correcting the unruly, encouraging thefainthearted, and helping the weak.1. Even though misconduct is addressed by staff, Resident Assistants or others designated by the Deans, weencourage students to respectfully confront one another and encourage one another toward “love and goodworks” as is biblically appropriate. Galatians 6:1; Hebrews 3:13; 10:242. Confrontation should first be handled privately and in person rather than bringing others into the picture who arenot involved. If resolution is not achieved, you should follow the guidelines for appeals.3. Recurring disciplinary problems, uncooperative and/or critical attitudes may result in disciplinary probation,dismissal, or inability to enroll for the following semester.C. Discipline point systemViolations of Institutional Policies may result in discipline points. The primary consequence for discipline points iswork hours served on Mondays. The following is a general description of the discipline point system.1. WarningsRAs are permitted to distribute warnings for cleanliness violations and other violations of a minor nature. Thefollowing is a list that includes, but is not limited to, rule infractions for which students may receive warnings:a. Cleanliness of personal area (bed, desk, closet, etc.) – not including dorm job (see one pt. violations.)b. Quiet-in-dorms violationc. Study Hours violation2. One D-point violationsThe following is a list that includes but is not limited to infractions for which students may receive one D-point:a. Accumulation of three warnings.b. Tardiness. Being late to class, church, work, ministry or service assignment, required meetings, QuietTime, study hours, devotions, curfew, etc. Points may vary based on the extent of the tardiness.c.
