The board may sanction students found in violation of the Sexual Misconduct Policy in a variety of ways. Most sanctions either restrict student activities or require the student to complete specific reparative tasks within a specific timeframe. During the period from hear-ing to completion of sanctions the student is on “Disciplinary Probation.”

As determined by the board or the DoS/VPSA, a student on Disciplinary Probation may not be eligible to register for the ensuing semester of study at Skidmore or pursue work at an-other academic institution, or participate in Skidmore room selection or in the off-campus draw. A student who violates the Honor Code while on Disciplinary Probation or fails to comply with assigned sanctions will generally receive additional, more substantial sanc-tions. In the case of graduating seniors, students may not receive diplomas or transcripts or participate in the graduation ceremony until completion of all sanction requirements, un-less specifically permitted by the Administrative Hearing Board.

• Education: Students may be required to participate in educational activities. Such educa- tional activities include but are not limited to completion of a report or attendance at a seminar or other educational program or presentation.

• Professional Assessment: Completion of a professional assessment that could help the student or the College ascertain the student’s ongoing supervision or support needs to successfully participate in the College community.

• Specific Restriction(s): The board may impose specific restrictions on an individual to pre- vent either access to an area of campus, participation in some aspect of the College’s operation and life, and/or restriction from all forms of contact with certain persons. Note that some campus organizations, such as SGA, do not permit its members to serve in leadership positions if they are on Disciplinary Probation.

• Suspension: The board may recommend suspension, specifically in sexual misconduct cases involving penetration, to the DoS/VPSA. The board may also assign specific sanc- tions, such as community service, for completion during the suspension period. While suspended, students may transfer up to two courses (maximum of 11 credit hours) taken at another institution, subject to the usual review by the Registrar. The board may recommend suspension in cases where:

1. public safety or disruption of the academic and educational process is a concern;

2. the respondents demonstrate an unwillingness to take responsibility for their behavior by failing to complete sanction-related tasks or by committing new social or academic violations;

3. the respondent’s infraction is too egregious relative to the College’s academic or social value system; or

4. the respondent has committed multiple offenses that warrant a serious sanction.
