Violations and Misconduct

Violations of Malone Policy While Participating in Malone-Related Events

Violation of any Malone policy while on a Malone-related or sanctioned trip or activity will be viewed as though that violation occurred on Malone property. Students who travel with any Malone organization, club, or team will be held to the same standard as if that violation occurred in their room or other on-campus location. Under no circumstances will permission be granted by staff, faculty, coaches, parents or other leaders for the trip that would allow students to engage in any behavior found to violate this policy.

Other Cases of Misconduct

Students may be subject to the rules of Malone for their conduct on or off Malone campus, whether or not classes are in session. Any student charged with and found responsible for any act of misconduct is subject to disciplinary action through Malone Judicial Process. No rules of conduct can cover all possible behaviors or circumstances, and Malone reserves the right to take appropriate disciplinary action for misconduct not covered in these rules, and to revise or add rules of conduct as conditions warrant.

General Student Complaint procedures

At times students may desire to voice a formal complaint about something outside the other complaint procedures outlined in the student handbook.  In such an event a students should formally submit in writing his or her compliant to the Vice President for Student Development.  The Vice President for Student Development will then meet with the student and decide whether the complaint can be handled in Student Development or needs to be moved to another department on campus.   After it is determined who should review the complaint the following procedure takes place:
1. Upon receipt, the written complaint will be reviewed by the appropriate Malone official.
2. A reasonably thorough and appropriately confidential investigation will be conducted.
3. Appropriate action will be taken as a result of the investigation.
