RESOLUTION

concerning

Technical Revisions to the Student Code of Conduct

April 1, 2005

WHEREAS,   The Board of Trustees adopted the Connecticut State University Student Code of Conduct to provide clear guidelines for student behavior and for their effective enforcement at each of the universities that comprise the Connecticut State University System, and

WHEREAS,   The Code of Conduct need not replicate legal provisions in order to assure students their due process and protect the universities from legal vulnerability, and

WHEREAS,   The Code's provisions must be clear and direct in order to be understandable by most students, and

WHEREAS,   Any effort to provide for clear and inclusive action can only maximize the usefulness of such a code, and

WHEREAS,   Operational experience serves to identify appropriate honing of the Code's provisions and enables the universities to identify practical considerations, therefore be it

RESOLVED,   That Board Resolution # 04-55, Part III, 3., 14., 18., is hereby amended as shown in the attachment to this resolution, to reflect a clearer and more direct Student Code of Conduct.

William J. Cibes, Jr., Chancellor
