Conduct Proceedings:
It is the philosophy of the Manhattanville College Conduct Process that most violations of College policy are best handled in a way that informs and guides students toward the development of personal responsibility and conscientiousness and toward mature moral and ethical standards. The Conduct Process has two main objectives: to hold students accountable for inappropriate behavior, unprofessional behavior and dispositions, and to modify those behaviors deemed inappropriate or unprofessional in order to maintain a positive living-learning environment within the College community and to achieve the mission and objectives of the College and of its Schools.
The Code of Conduct is outlined in this Handbook. Students are responsible for being aware of these standards of conduct. A plea of ignorance is not an acceptable excuse for violating College policy. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these policies.
When an alleged violation of the Code of Conduct occurs, the incident should be reported as soon as possible to a staff member in the area in which the violation occurred, Campus Safety, Dean of Students, Residence Life and if applicable, the Manhattanville School of Education or Manhattanville School of Business administration or staff.
