WORKSHOP
PARTICIPATION
In
some instances, students may be required to assist in developing,
coordinating, and evaluating workshops related to the nature
of the offense that the student has committed. Students
may also be required to participate in workshops to enhance
their knowledge and understanding of a particular topic
related to the offense committed. In
such instances, students are required to be prompt, attentive,
and to present a well-written, typed summary of the activity
to the judicial administrator or body
within 24 hours of the event. NOTE: Failure
to comply with this sanction may result in interim suspension
from the University.
SPECIAL
NOTATION TO STUDENTS
Each violation of the Jackson State University Code
of Conduct is treated separately from any other case. Disciplinary
sanctions will vary accordingly, depending upon the severity of each offense. All
sanctions will be determined on an individual basis; however, all mitigating
circumstances are reviewed and taken into consideration by the Student Life
Disciplinary Committee, the Coordinator of Judicial Affairs, the Dean of Students
and/or the Vice Provost for Student Life. Therefore,
students may or may not receive similar sanctions for offenses of the same
or similar nature.
NOTIFICATION
OF DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AND DECISIONS
Students who are accused of being involved in incidents that
are in violation of the Code of Conduct should will be contacted
by the Coordinator of Judicial
Affairs, the Dean of Students, or the Office of the Vice Provost for Student
Life regarding informal or formal hearings. Every
attempt will be made by University officials to promptly notify the student
of a conference or hearing regarding his/her alleged violation; however, inability
to notify a student through reasonable means does not entitle the student to
any further consideration in terms of postponing a hearing or adjudicating
a case.
While
every effort will be made to promptly notify those who participated
in a judicial hearing of the outcome, each student whose case
has been adjudicated is expected to contact the Coordinator
of Judicial Affairs or the Dean of Students within 48 hours
after the conclusion of the hearing to receive the decision
in the case.
