Part 2 - Jurisdiction

2.1

This Code of Conduct shall apply to every Manhattanville student, whether matriculated or not, whether taking courses on-campus or off. In aneffort to provide a safe and secure environment and to protect the public order, the College believes it must hold the members of its community accountable for their behavior at alltimes, on and off campus.

2.2

College jurisdiction and discipline is not limited to conduct which occurs on College premises. Conduct which adversely affects the College community or all those communities with which students interact in carrying out educational or professional activities, including but not limited to students pursuing field experiences and other course assignments, practica, internships, student teaching or supervised teaching, teaching under an internship certificate, research, and students attending professional conferences and education events, shall fall under the jurisdiction of this Code. We aim to especially protect those individuals, such as children, who are deserving of special protections.

2.3

The College Student Conduct System has jurisdiction over all alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct by any student or recognized student organization that may be brought to its attention. Jurisdiction of the College Student Conduct System extends to alleged misconduct that takes place on College owned or controlled property; alleged misconduct that takes place at any College sponsored event; and alleged misconduct that has an impact on the educational mission and well-being of the College community that takes place at any location off campus.

2.4

The College Student Conduct System has jurisdiction over complaints against students alleging sex discrimination including sexual and gender-based harassment, assault, and violence. The Manhattanville College Sexual Misconduct Policy applies to all College programs and activities. The College processes sex discrimination complaints regardless of where the alleged conduct occurs to determine whether the conduct occurred in the context of its educational program or if it had continuing effects on campus or in an off-campus program or activity.

2.5

College student conduct proceedings are administrative in nature and independent of any criminal and/or civil legal proceedings that may be concurrently in process. College student conduct proceedings are intended to enforce the Code of Student Conduct at Manhattanville College although the conduct in question may be simultaneously in violation of federal, state or local laws. The student or College may notify local and federal authorities when a crime is alleged to have been committed, but such notification will not modify the College’s authority to adjudicate the alleged misconduct through its own student conduct system.
