Faculty have the authority to take appropriate action to maintain order and proper conduct in the classroom and to maintain the effective cooperation of the class in fulfilling the objectives of the course.

An instructor has the authority to exclude a student from up to three class sessions if the student is disruptive to the learning environment pending a meeting with the vice president for the student services area or a designee. The instructor shall report any such exclusion from the class to the vice president for the student services area or designee who may at his or her discretion initiate disciplinary proceedings as provided in this procedure. The vice president for the student services area may impose a disciplinary probation that restricts the student from the classroom until the student has met with the vice president for the student services area and the student agrees to comply with the specific conditions outlined by the vice president for the student services area for conduct in the classroom. The student may appeal the disciplinary sanction according to the disciplinary appeal procedures.
