The Chancellor has approved interim revisions to the Code of Student Responsibility that:
University Policy 501, Nondiscrimination, has been simplified, and the prohibition on discrimination or discriminatory harassment by any member of the University community has been clarified. This Policy applies to students, faculty, and staff. All employees are required to report alleged violations of the Policy. The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX will have more detailed procedural documents available on its website for different classes of respondents.
University Policy 403, Student Appeals and Grievances, has been rescinded. The substance of the former policy is posted on the Dean of Students' website as a resource for students.
University Policy 501.1, Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability Regulation, has been revised to incorporate the new Office of Civil Rights and Title IX and to account for changes in the office responsible for compliance with the Policy.
University Policy 410, Policy and Procedure for Student Appeals of Final Course Grades, has been revised to require consultation with the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX when grade appeals relate to discrimination issues.
University Policy 501.2 has been rescinded, because its substance is now captured in University Policy 501, Nondiscrimination.
University Policy 411, Student Grievance Procedure, has been revised to remove all discrimination or discriminatory harassment complaints from its purview.
University Policy 503 is rescinded, because based on court cases, fighting words harassment as an exception to free speech protection has been significantly curtailed if not eliminated.
University Policy 101.5, Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plan, has been revised to mirror University Policy 501, Nondiscrimination, with respect to the list of protected statuses. The name has also been changed to help eliminate confusion related to University Policy 501.
University Policy 502, Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence, has been simplified, and many of the definitions and other procedural pieces have been removed. This Policy applies to students, faculty, and staff. All employees are required to report alleged violations of the Policy. The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX will have more detailed procedural documents available on its website for different classes of respondents.
