Sanctions may be impacted by information deemed relevant by the hearing chair, including, but not limited to: severity of the violation; motivation of the behavior; disciplinary record; the impact on the parties; the need to remedy the effects of the discrimination and/or harassment on the complainant and the community; and the impact of safety concerns to the greater campus community.

A student, organization, or employee found to have violated the Title IX & Gender-Based Misconduct Policy may be subject to sanctions and/or directives as deemed appropriate by the hearing chair/panel, including: written reprimand/warning; disciplinary probation; change in academic or employment schedule; change in residence; removal from on-campus or College housing; a permanent No Contact Order; educational programming; reflective writing; counseling; community restitution; prohibition from certain College facilities and/or activities; prohibition from campus; suspension; expulsion; admission revocation; revocation of awards, honors, or leadership positions; withholding of degree; degree revocation; demotion; termination; or a combination of these.

If a student is found responsible for Title IX Misconduct: Sexual Assault or SLC Gender-Based Misconduct: Sexual Assault, the minimum sanction shall be suspension from the College for a minimum of two semesters, unless mitigating circumstances warrant a lesser sanction. If a lesser sanction than two semesters of suspension is imposed, the hearing chair/panel shall explain the mitigating circumstances and describe their rationale for a lesser sanction in the Notice of Outcome.

Previous disciplinary action of any kind involving the respondent may be considered in determining an appropriate sanction upon a determination of responsibility. This information is only considered at the sanctioning stage of the process, and is not shared with the hearing chair and/or hearing panel members until then.

All respondents are expected to comply with the assigned sanctions within the timeframe specified by the hearing chair and/or appeal panel. Sanctions including a suspension may require a respondent to verify compliance with all assigned sanctions prior to returning to the College. Failure to abide by or complete the sanctions may result in additional sanctions, and may be noted on a student’s official transcript.
