OPERATING
PROCEDURES for Fraternities & Sororities 2004-2005
CONDITIONS FOR INTERIM SUSPENSION
The Dean of Student Life may impose an interim suspension on a chapter alleged to be in violation of a college policy. An interim suspension may last up to 60 day and/or until resolution of the alleged violations is reached through completion of the investigative process and/or the hearing process.
MINIMUM SANCTIONS AND PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE
Minimum sanctions are suggested for Greek policies detailed in this manual. Minimum sanctions are intended to serve as a guideline for college administrators and/or hearing panels to use when sanctioning a chapter. More severe sanctions will generally be considered when a chapter has been disciplined on numerous occasions for policy violations; particularly when said violations can subject the chapter to a high risk of litigation, i.e., alcohol violations, hazing, sexual harassment. |
