XXIV. Sanctions

A respondent determined to have committed prohibited conduct is subject to disciplinary action. Disciplinary action may include, but is not limited to, education, a reprimand, probation, suspension, administrative leave without pay, or temporary or permanent separation (expulsion) from the University of Jamestown. When a respondent is found responsible for the prohibited behavior as alleged, sanctions are based on the severity and circumstances of the behavior, any record of prior discipline for similar violations, or both. Third parties who violate this policy may have their relationship with the University of Jamestown terminated and/or their privilege of being on University of Jamestown premises withdrawn.

If a student withdraws from the University of Jamestown after the University has begun an investigation but prior to a finding or resolution, an entry may, in appropriate circumstances, be made on their transcript that indicates that the student withdrew with a disciplinary investigation or complaint pending. Additionally, the investigation and resolution process may continue.

If an employee separates from the University of Jamestown after the University has begun an investigation but prior to disciplinary charges being filed, an entry may, in appropriate circumstances, be made in their personnel file that indicates that employment terminated with an investigation pending. Additionally, the investigation and resolution process may continue.
