Chief of Campus Safety Ed Malone reported that reports related to the incident have been sealed indefinitely. Sanctions are selected through Hearing Board consensus and range from warnings and probations to suspension and expulsion. The sanctions assigned in this particular case will not be listed on the student's transcript but will be revealed to other colleges upon request. "It doesn't matter whether or not it's an individual or a group within this community," Director of Residential Life Dave Leonard said. "The college will not tolerate any forms of harassment and we take these matters very seriously." "I don't know if [the decision] is too severe or not severe enough," said one victim. "I've never been in this situation before." The abuse and harassment policy covers physical or verbal abuse, intimidation, and "any conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person," according to the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Alcohol violations ofthe Code include underage drinking and disorderly conduct. Failure to Comply includes re fusal to identify one's self to and refusal to cooperate with Campus Safety officers or college officials, according to the Student Code. The sanctions were effective immediately after the hearing ended at approximately 10:30 p.m. "We expect a student assigned sanctions to honor them," Dean of Students Susan Allen said. "We typically don't have any trouble." The defendant has the right to appeal in writing within three school days ofthe Hearing Board decision, according to the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, if new evidence or errors in the Board procedure are discovered or if he or she believes the sanctions assigned were unwarranted or extreme. Administrative sources believe an appeal is unlikely. "I think it's been resolved," Allen said. Still, administrators discouraged the involved parties from discussing the hearing or hearing related events. Such confidentiality is intended to protect the privacy of the parties involved, Leonard said. "It's not trying to sweep issues under the rug," he said.
