Full-time Faculty Location: (http://ibew2320.org/wpcontent/uploads/2017/02/2017-2019-CCSNHand-NHHEU-CBA-for-FT-Faculty_Final.pdf) Intellectual Property Article 32 (pg. 64) Grievance & Arbitration Article 7 (pg. 14) Privacy Rights Article 34 (pg. 66) RVCC is committed to the free pursuit and dissemination of knowledge. The Faculty CBA, Article VI- Academic Integrity and Professional Responsibility (pg. 12) and the Adjunct Faculty CBA Article 13 (pg. 16), contain outlines of the expectations of both CCSNH and the faculty which “endorse principles and standards of academic freedom...traditionally accepted in institutions of higher education. Therefore, as an academic community committed to teaching and service excellence, CCSNH fosters a professional atmosphere that promotes the highest standards of professional conduct and integrity.” Students, likewise are expected to take advantage of various points of view, both from instructors and classmates and be guided by the RVCC Education Philosophy which defines the educated person as someone who can: “read critically, write clearly and comprehensively, reason analytically and utilize mathematical and scientific skills to solve life’s problems.” RVCC and the CCSNH System have established clear policies ensuring institutional integrity related to grievance policies for faculty, staff, and students. The Student Handbook outlines the process for a student to appeal a grade (pg. 20). For students who are placed on Academic Probation, the Academic Standing Committee (ASC) has policies and procedures that reviews each student’s case individually. Prior to the evaluation, students are notified of their right to appeal their suspension. Faculty (full-time and adjunct) and staff grievance policies are outlined in each group’s respective Collective Bargaining Agreements (Staff CBA: Article 7, pgs. 13-16; Adjunct Faculty CBA: Article 7, pgs. 14-17; Full-time Faculty CBA: Article 7, pgs. 9-12). The Student Code of Conduct, contained within the Student Handbook (pages 43-54) covers areas of the College that ensure students understand the operations of the College including General Infractions, Academic Misconduct, Disruption of College Operations, Health & Safety Violations, Violations of Criminal Laws and the College Code of Conduct, Student Disciplinary Proceedings, the Judicial Process and Student Rights. The Handbook also covers many important topics related to the Academic Appeal Process, Academic Integrity, Academic Probation, Cheating & Plagiarism, Dismissal from the College, FERPA, and the Grading System. Legal Obligations RVCC observes all legal requirements. It has a charter and formal authority from the State of New Hampshire authorizing the College to grant all degrees it awards, and has the authority to conduct these activities in the local jurisdictions it serves. State of New Hampshire RSA 188-F:1 formally established the Community College System of New 140 | P a g e
Hampshire as a self-governing body under the authority of the CCSNH Board of Trustees and identifies seven colleges throughout the state including one in Claremont which is currently named River Valley Community College. RSA 188-F-1 also allows for regional academic centers and covers RVCC’s Keene and Lebanon Academic Centers. RVCC follows all non-discrimination policies with relation to hiring of all employees and recruitment and admissions of all students. The RVCC Non-Discrimination Policy is housed on the college website and is referenced with all hiring notices, as well as on the college student application. The policy also identifies contact information for the College’s Equity Committee Chairperson, CCSNH HR Director, US Department of Education, and NH Commission for Human Rights and EOC. Students who perform work study jobs where they are privy to private information must sign and abide by FERPA documentation as part of their employment. These documents are maintained with the student’s employment record. RVCC holds its responsibility for sponsored activities of the College very seriously and generally seeks approval of the Extended Leadership Team. The Team is comprised of the President, VPAA, VPSA, Chief Business Affairs Officer and representatives from other areas of the College. Depending on the activity, there might be added approvals needed from the Student Government Association or Student Club Advisors. For off-campus activities, the Institution ensures students abide by the Student Code of Conduct and are supervised by a college representative. For all off-campus activities, students (or their guardians if they are underage) must sign off on the “Waiver for On or Off-Campus Activities” form which are then held by the IVPSA (for academic activities) or the SGA President (for activities sponsored by the Student Government). Students who are on RVCC sponsored internships, practicums, clinicals, or fieldwork assignments are held to the same standards as on-campus students and are governed by the policies in the Student Handbook as well as any specific policies outlined in the legal agreement (Affiliation Agreements) between the College and the site of the internship/practicum/clinical or fieldwork. These agreements are reviewed by CCSNH System Counsel and are housed in the office of Academic Affairs. Communication with NECHE RVCC Administration updates NECHE as needed regarding changes at the institution. RVCC demonstrates honesty and integrity and complies with the Commission’s standards, policies, requirements of affiliations, and requests. RVCC notifies the commission regarding adverse events. For example, RVCC was notified in August of 2018 that the OTA program was put on probation by ACOTE. A plan of corrective action was provided to NECHE which NECHE responded to positively. Due to the corrective actions taken, ACOTE removed OTA’s probationary status and reinstated full accreditation in December of 2018. In addition, as of the writing of this report, RVCC is developing a plan of corrective action for the Radiologic Technology program, which was placed on probation by JRCERT. 141 | P a g e
