In accordance with Title 53B, Chapter 27, Section 302, Campus
Civil Liberties Protection Act, this policy establishes general elements of due
process that must be provided to a student prior to being expelled or suspended
for 10 days or more for non-academic Student Rights and Responsibilities
violations. Students are presumed not to have engaged in a Student Rights and
Responsibilities violation until the college has established a violation by a
preponderance of the evidence.

the informal discussion can be through an e-mail or over the phone. Students
