HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The HutchCC Board of Trustees will have its first reading of a draft of the Student Code of Conduct at its meeting Thursday.
According to meeting documents, the code will apply on College property, any College sponsored or sanctioned activities, and any off-campus behavior which reflects on the mission of the College.
The changes include a clarification of an example of a passive, yet disruptive behavior.
Also, there are several changes to remove his or her from policies regarding individuals and to replace those mentions with the pronoun their.
There is also an inclusion of hoverboards in the policy regarding usage of devices like skateboards and scooters.
In addition, the language regarding campus disorder or student unrest is being clarified to allow for the President to designate a person to contact law enforcement, if that person sees a need for such contact, when the President is not on campus.
The board will also look at the document for disciplinary proceedings if the Code of Conduct is violated. That document has just a couple of minor changes, one to clarify that not representing the college is one potential course of action and another to clarify that appeals can be filed by mail.
The meeting Thursday starts at 7:00 p.m. in the Justice Theater in the Shears Technology Center at 1300 North Plum in Hutchinson.
