STUDENT CONDUCT CODE Generally, college discipline is limited to incidents of student misconduct that adversely affect the college community’s pursuit of its educational objective or create a substantial interference with the safety and well-being of Doane students. Doane College expects that individuals will respect the rights of others and have regard for preservation of property. The following misconduct, not an all-inclusive code, is subject to college disciplinary action. Each student is held accountable for her/his behavior under the judicial system of the college. Students are expected to be familiar with all college regulations and to abide by them at all times in order to maintain a fair, just, and safe living-learning community environment.


Your Code


All forms of dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, forgery, knowingly furnishing false information to college staff, alteration or use of college documents or instruments of identification with intent to defraud is not tolerated. This includes the sale of term papers, computer programs, theft of and/or unauthorized use of telephone codes and computer security authorizations. In addition, falsifying information obtained from the Doane CollegeWeb site, WebAdvisor, or from any print materials associated with the college is subject to disciplinary action.


Doane College may choose to address student discipline matters separate from or in conjunction with the criminal justice system. If a criminal complaint is filed against a student or students for conduct on or off campus which constitutes a crime of violence, sexual assault, distribution of controlled substances and/or illegal drugs or any other serious crime, the college may determine whether the presence of student on campus during the pendency of the criminal justice proceedings will constitute a substantial interference with school and educational purposes. If such a determination is made, the college may suspend the student from attendance at Doane College until such time as the matter is brought to conclusion by the criminal justice system. Such suspension shall not restrict the college from invoking additional disciplinary sanctions as described below.


1. Intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, or other college activities. This includes violations of the policies of the library.


2. Acts or expression of harassment, discrimination, personal intimidation, or intentional physical or emotional abuse of any person on college premises or at college sponsored or college supervised functions.


3. Conduct that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person on college premises or at college sponsored or college supervised functions or conduct likely to result in property damage.


4. Theft or attempted theft of property or services of the college or that of a member of the college community or campus visitor, or possession of known stolen property.
