All members of the Colgate community are expected to adhere= to local, state, and federal laws and regulations. In addition, on May 31,= 1969, the Board of Trustees adopted a Policy on Public Order and/or Hazing= . The policy, as amended by the Board on November 12, 1980, is as follows:<= /p>
The University is committed to the conduct of its affairs i= n an orderly manner and to maintain a sense of community. It is also commit= ted to the discharge of legal and moral responsibilities, especially as the= y relate to the rights of freedom of speech and peaceful assembly in the Un= iversity community. However, lawlessness in any form or for any reason, wil= l not be tolerated. Specifically prohibited is any action or situation whic= h recklessly or intentionally endangers mental or physical health or involv= es the forced consumption of alcohol or drugs for the purpose of initiation= or affiliation with any organization.
Individuals or groups who engage in acts which, in the judg= ment of the President of the University or designated representatives, = ;violate public order on University property, or property supervised by the= University, or who ignore or refuse to comply with specific University dir= ectives designed to maintain public order, or who pose a threat to the live= s or safety of themselves or others, will be advised of the following conse= quences of such acts.
1. Visitors or l= icensees will be directed to leave the University property, or be subject t= o immediate arrest and removal.
2. Students, fac= ulty, staff, or other employees will be suspended from whatever status the = individual has with the University and/or be subject to such other penaltie= s deemed to be more effective. Disciplinary actions will be subject to revi= ew by the appropriate body; by procedures adopted by the faculty for facult= y members, by the University Student Conduct Board, and by the President of= the University or designates for all others.
3. Failure by st= udents, faculty, staff, or other employees to comply with University direct= ives will result in civil or criminal prosecution of the individuals or gro= ups concerned including, if necessary, ejection from the University propert= y or property supervised by the University. Other disciplinary action inclu= ding expulsion or dismissal will be taken by the University as deemed appro= priate.
4. Any organizat= ion which authorizes or permits proscribed conduct referred to above shall = be subject to rescission of permission for that organization to operate on = campus property.
On July 11, 1985, the Board of Trustees supplemented the ab= ove policy by the following resolution:
Having adopted a Policy for Public Order and/or Hazing purs= uant to Section 6450 of the Education Law and recognizing its final
responsibility for the conduct of the Unive= rsity under the Charter and By-Laws as well as its statutory responsibiliti= es under Section 6450, the Board of Trustees hereby reserves its authority = to review, by the Board as a whole or a committee designated for the purpos= e, disciplinary actions taken pursuant to the Policy following the review b= y the appropriate body provided for in the policy.
On May 18, 1991, the Board of Trustees approved, through fo= rmal resolution, a separate anti-hazing policy. This policy is printed in i= ts complete form in the Student Handbook.
