PREAMBLE

Central Oregon Community College exists for the open exchange of knowledge and philosophies, the development of capacity for critical judgment and the creation of an atmosphere conducive to the independent search for truth and to the gaining of practical experience in our community. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. The institution has a responsibility to develop policies, which encourage the broadest participation of the college community.

The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility. The purpose of the Student Rights and Responsibilities document is to enumerate the essential provisions for students' freedom and for students to understand how they participate responsibly in the college community.

COCC is committed to providing equal opportunity in its recruitment, admission and educational programs, activities, and employment, without discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, national origin, race, color, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status. Various state and federal laws enforce this policy. These include Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education, and Section 504, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

Academic Honesty

Procedures
The faculty has primary responsibility and authority in the classroom. The following steps should be followed for all offenses against the Academic Honesty policy.

1. When an alleged offense against Academic Honesty occurs, the faculty member will consult with the accused student(s) directly as to the alleged offense.
2. If the faculty member determines that the student has violated the Academic Honesty policy, the instructor may impose one of the following sanctions:
   
   • Require the student complete another assignment
   • Assign a grade of F or zero on the assignment
   • Assign a final grade of F for the course
   
   In the event a case of academic dishonesty is not resolved prior to the deadline for reporting final grades to the registrar, the student shall receive a grade of Incomplete ("I") until the appropriate grade can be determined.
3. Documentation of the violation and sanction must be reported to the appropriate Academic Dean via the Academic Honesty Code Violation Form. The instructor and student each retain a copy of the form and the original is sent to the student's Academic Dean of record.
4. 如果被指控的学生不认为自己受到了公正的指控，或者认为处罚是不合理的，学生可以使用COCC一般政策手册中概述的学生关注程序进行投诉。
5. In the case of repeated academic honesty offenses (defined as an individual student who has been found to have violated the Academic Honesty policy more than once), the student may be referred to a formal hearing (as defined in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities) which may result in suspension or dismissal from Central Oregon Community College.
6. The fact that the student has been found guilty of, or admits to, a violation of academic honesty, will be made a part of a permanent record, to be maintained in the Office of the Dean of Instruction. Such information, however, will not be indicated on the student's transcript. Availability of such records will be subject to COCC policies governing access to student records.

The Judicial System & Procedural Rights

Judicial Process

1. Reporting Violations
   
   
   1. Any student, staff, faculty, community member, or Police officer may report any perceived violation of this Code and/or College policies and procedures. The report may be made to the Wickiup Hall Housing Manager, if the perceived violation occurred in the residence halls, or to the Office of Student Life. Perceived criminal activity should be reported immediately to the Office of Campus Services or the Police, which will submit its report of a student violation to the Office of Student Life.
   2. The Office of Student Life or designee may decline to adjudicate a complaint that if proven, would not constitute a violation of the Code. All other complaints will be adjudicated.
   3. When the Office of Student Life or designee decides to adjudicate a complaint, it may do so by a pre- hearing disposition of the charge with the student or by adjudicating the matter through the student judicial process.
   4. The Office of Student Life may elect to wait for any outstanding incident report before adjudicating a complaint. For example, the Office of Student Life may elect to wait for a Police report when it believes that the police report will provide significant relevant information.
2. Interim Suspension
   一般来说，学生的身份在聆讯和上诉期间是不改变的，除非初步证据表明，学生的继续在校园里会对学生的健康或安全，或健康，安全，或福祉的学院社区内的其他人的健康，安全，或福祉构成威胁，在这种情况下，学生可以暂时停学。除紧急情况外，学生辅导主任或其指定人员将在决定休学前与学生沟通。学生事务主任或其指定人员将以书面形式说明临时停学的条款和条件。
3. Notice
   A student charged with violating a College policy or rule shall be given written notice to meet with the Director of Student Life or designee at a specific time, date and place for a conference regarding a charge of misconduct.
4. Required Attendance
   Failure on the part of the student to meet as requested for an informal or formal hearing may result in a decision being made in the student's absence. The student shall be notified of this decision by certified return mail. Records, registration and transcript details may be held in abeyance until the student follows up on a Notice to Appear.
5. Victim Notification
   Upon request of a victim (or victim's next of kin, if the victim is deceased as the result of the offense) of a violent crime or a sex offense, COCC will provide a report on the results of any disciplinary proceedings against a student who is the alleged perpetrator of the offense.
6. Hearings
   听证会分为两级，非正式和正式。
   
   The informal hearing shall be held for all misconduct cases. The results of these hearings will be considered binding when the decision of the hearing officer calls for a disciplinary action that does not include expulsion from the college or eviction from Wickiup Residence Hall. If the student claims responsibility for actions or there is overwhelming evidence of student responsibility during the informal hearing process, the result could include indefinite or long-term suspension.
   
   Formal hearings are held where alleged misconduct could result in such disciplinary action as final expulsion, indefinite or long-term suspension from the college or eviction from Wickiup Hall.
   
   
   1. Informal Hearings
      The Director of Student Life or designee shall conduct an informal hearing with the student at which time the College official shall:
      
      1. Review the charges with the student.
      2. Review the incident report or other documentation upon which the charges are based.
      3. 审查如果发现有罪可能会采取的纪律行动。
      4. Provide the student an opportunity to respond to the charges.
      5. Discuss the charges and the student's response. The student shall be given an opportunity to plead responsible or not responsible to the charges.
      6. Inform the student of his/her decision with respect to the charges within two business days of the conference via a written decision letter. Possible actions that would result from the informal hearing include but are not limited to:
         
         • Dismiss the charges.
         • Assign sanctions.
         • 恢复秩序。
         • Order probation.
         • Order a summary suspension.
         • 下令举行正式听证会。
      7. The written decision of the conference will notify the student that s/he has a right to appeal that decision to the Dean of Students within five (5) business days from the date the hearing decision was received. Please see below for further information on appeals.
   2. Formal Hearings
      Formal hearings are held in cases where alleged misconduct could result in such disciplinary action as final expulsion, indefinite or long-term suspension from the College. The President or designee will appoint the Hearings Officer. The procedural requirements are as follows:
      
      Notice: The written notice of the formal hearing shall inform the student of:
      • The policy or regulation alleged to have been violated in sufficient detail to allow the student to prepare a defense.
      • The possible disciplinary action to be taken.
      • The right not to be compelled to testify against oneself.
      • The right to a hearing as established under these disciplinary procedures.
      • The right to examine the evidence, hear all testimony and to ask questions of witnesses appearing and testifying against him/her and to offer witnesses and evidence in his/her behalf. Such evidence must be requested 48 hours before the hearing
      • The right of an advisor of his/her choice, at his/her own expense, acting in an advisory capacity only. The name and address of the advisor shall be provided to the office of Student Life no later than 24 hours prior to a hearing. The advisor is not permitted to speak at the College hearing.
      • The right to enter a plea of responsible or not responsible within three school days after the charge. If the student fails to enter a plea within three school days, a plea of not responsible is entered and a hearing date being set by the Hearings Officer.
      • The right to bring witnesses to the hearing. A witness is a person who has personal knowledge of the incident at issue. Character witnesses are considered irrelevant and will not be permitted to testify. A person who serves as a witness may not serve in any other capacity during the hearing. The student must submit a list of witnesses to the hearing officer 24 hours in advance of the hearing. The list should include each witness' name and a summary of the witness' expected testimony. It is the student's responsibility to bring his/her witnesses to the hearing at the scheduled date and time.
        
        
   3. Hearing Procedures
      
      The purpose of a hearing is to review all the facts and to consider testimony, both written and oral, in an effort towards determining whether or not College policy has been violated and whether or not the student should be disciplined, and if so, what disciplinary action should be taken.
      1. Closed Hearing. All proceedings are closed, except that an alleged victim(s) may be given permission by a hearing officer to attend. Those present in the hearing room will be the Hearing Officer, college staff recorder, the student's advisor, and the student involved in the action. In addition, witnesses will be interviewed individually.
      2. 公正的裁定者。聆讯官如认为自己无法做到公正，就必须退出聆讯。答辩人会在聆讯前最少三个工作天获通知聆讯主任考虑押记。如被申请人或其他有关人士认为聆讯主任不能公正公正，他/她必须致函学生生活办公室的学生事务主任，要求更换聆讯主任，并说明他/她认为聆讯主任会有偏见的具体原因。书面要求必须在聆讯安排举行前最少两个工作天提出。如果学生辅导主任同意，他/她会将押记重新分配给另一名聆讯主任，但聆讯日期如有可能将保持不变。
      3. Hearing Record. The hearing officer will make a record of the hearing. If the College deems it appropriate, the hearing will be audio tape-recorded. The recording will remain on file in the Office of Student Life.
      4. Maintaining Order. The hearing officer is responsible for maintaining order during the hearing. The hearing officer may take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure an orderly hearing.
      5. 证据/询问证人。学生将有机会就指控提供相关信息和证人。学生将有机会审查所有导致指控的信息，并对所有证人的证词作出回应。听证官将询问证人。学生不得直接向证人提问，但可以向听证人员提出问题，由听证人员决定向证人提出哪些问题。已经作证的证人不得与尚未作证的证人交谈。
      6. Requesting Evidence. The student or the hearing officer may request the presence of relevant witnesses. If an alleged victim or a witness is not present at the hearing, his/her presence can be requested.
      7. Sexual Offenses. A victim of an alleged sexual offense or assault may testify via an intercom or other remote audio or video device, so that s/he may testify without face-to-face contact with the accused student. The identity of all witnesses who testify must be known to the accused student. In no event may testimony via intercom or other remote device be used to keep the alleged victim's identity from the accused student.
      8. Anonymous Evidence/Evidence Received Outside the Hearing. The hearing officer will refuse to accept or hear any evidence coming from an anonymous source or evidence which is presented outside of the hearing.
      9. Relevant Evidence. The hearing officer will decide whether to admit evidence. Rules of evidence used in courts of law are not used in this judicial process. Generally, a hearing officer will agree to hear evidence which is relevant to the subject matter of the hearing and is fair and reliable under the circumstances of the case. Character witnesses generally are not considered relevant.
      10. Adjudicatory Standard. The hearing officer/judicial council will determine whether the Respondent is "responsible" or "not responsible" for the alleged violation. The Respondent will be presumed "not responsible" until proven otherwise by a preponderance of the evidence. A preponderance of the evidence is reached when the hearing officer/Judicial Council concludes that it is more likely than not that the Respondent violated the Code as alleged in the Charge.
      11. After reviewing available information on the case, the Hearings Officer will afford the student an opportunity to make his/her final comments before a decision is made.
      12. Written Hearing Decision. The hearing officer will provide a written decision to the student within two business days following the hearing. The hearing decision will state what evidence the hearing officer/judicial council considered and how it reached its decision based upon that evidence. If the Respondent is found responsible, the hearing decision will state what sanctions will be imposed.
      13. Notice of Appeal. The Respondent will be notified upon receiving the hearing decision that s/he has a right to appeal that decision, as described below, to the Judicial Affairs Officer or designee within five (5) business days from the date the hearing decision was sent.
   4. Appeals Procedure
      1. 个人希望对通过非正式或正式听证会程序作出的纪律决定提出上诉，可以在收到听证会决定之日起的五(5)个工作日内向学生事务主任或其指定人员提出。
      2. Appeals Procedure
         1. 基地的吸引力。对聆讯决定可以提出上诉的理由仅为:(1)程序上的错误不公平且对案件的结果有重大影响;(2)已发现在聆讯时无法合理获得的证据;和/或(3)聆讯人员明显滥用自由裁量权。
         2. Submitting an Appeal. To appeal, the Respondent must submit a written statement to the Dean of Students or designee stating, as precisely as possible, the basis for the appeal and the evidence to support the appeal
         3. Consideration of Appeal. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Dean of Students or designee may elect to meet with the Respondent to discuss the appeal and, if necessary, hear the new evidence. The alleged victim may be given an opportunity to respond to the appeal
         4. Written Appeal Decision. The Dean of Students or designee will render a written decision regarding the appeal. If the appeal is granted, the Dean of Students or designee will state on what basis the appeal was granted and describe any new evidence that was received and considered in rendering an appeal decision. The appeal may modify the hearing decision, including sanctions, as warranted. The appeal decision is final
   5. Post-Hearing Procedure
      如果学生不遵守对他/她施加的制裁，可能会被上诉修改，听证会官员保留权力对学生施加额外的制裁，包括开除学院。除了下一节列出的处罚外，听证会官员可能会暂停学生在学院的注册特权。这将导致所有预先注册的课程被取消。在尚未解决的司法事项和/或制裁得到解决并由发起方授权释放之前，该扣押仍然有效。除非该处分涉及停学或停学/开除，否则不得上诉。In these instances, an appeal may be filed using the procedure set forth above
7. Sanctions
