Proscribed Conduct
The Keuka College Student Code of Community Standards serves as a vehicle whereby non-academic student conduct matters are resolved in a fair and impartial manner. In addition, this code of community standards seeks to foster and guarantee the pursuit of activities that lead to the development of the student when such activities occur under the auspices of Keuka College.
As this Student Code of Community Standards seeks to foster individual and communal responsibility, it is expected that all students will conduct themselves with appropriate regard and respect for the rights of others and the College. The student conduct process at Keuka College is an administrative process, and not a legal process. Determination of responsibility shall be made on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the respondent(s) violated the Student Code of Community Standards or College policy.
Depending on the nature of the alleged behavior, the Respondent(s) may be processed through Community Standards or by the Gender and Sex Based Harassment and Sexual Misconduct policy.
Any student found responsible for the following standards is subject to the conduct outcomes outlined in “
Policy Process & Procedures” section of the Student Code of Community Standards.
The Student Code of Community Standards is reviewed annually under the direction of the Director of Community Standards & Student Intervention.
