Sanctions for infractions may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
Conduct Warning. An official written notification that an organization’s behavior is in violation of Illinois Tech regulations or standards, which also clarifies expected behavior in the future. This sanction may or may not carry with it conditions or restrictions of privileges.
Conduct Probation. This is a form of probation placed upon an organization for its misconduct. The intent of Conduct Probation is for an organization to correct its behavior and return to good standing within the Illinois Tech community. Certain restrictions and/or educational sanctions may also apply to this form of probation. Conduct Probation is to be designated to remain in effect for a specified duration.
Disciplinary Probation: This is the most serious form of probation issued by Illinois Tech. A student organization placed on Disciplinary Probation is required to correct their behavior immediately in order to remain a member of the Illinois Tech community. This form of probation may also include additional restrictions and/or educational sanctions and is designated to remain in effect for a specified time (e.g., one semester, one academic year).
Restitution. An organization is required to make monetary restitution for theft of or damage to Illinois Tech property or to that of a member of the Illinois Tech community, or for expenses incurred as a result of the organization’s actions.
Fines. Illinois Tech reserves the right to assess against an organization a fine for misconduct. The amount of any fine will be determined based on the severity of the infraction(s), whether the organization has been found responsible for prior infractions, and the need for deterrence of future infractions.
Suspension of Social Event Privileges. An organization may not sponsor or partner in any event involving alcohol on or off campus. Any proposed event involving guests in affiliation with the organization, with or without alcohol, must receive approval from the Dean of Students at least 5 calendar days in advance. Guests are defined as any non-member of the organization; new members, initiated members and organization alumni are not considered guests.
Suspension of Event Privileges. An organization may not sponsor or partner in any event on or off campus. Suspension of event privileges is to be designated to remain in effect for a specific duration.
Mandatory Educational Programming. An organization may be required to attend, as a whole or in part, educational programming assigned by the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs. An organization may also be required to host and to facilitate its own programming under this sanction.
Substance Free Housing. An organization may not operate a facility where members are allowed to possess or consume alcohol or legal but controlled substances. Any combination of substance revocations may be assigned, dependent upon the offense.
Removal of Recognized Student Organization Status or Charter. An organization may be fully unrecognized by Illinois Tech, resulting in the complete severing of all ties as a registered organization or recognized fraternity or sorority organization. Thereafter, the organization may not function as an organization; maintain or recruit members; host or co-host any activity, event or program; use any Illinois Tech property or facility; use the Illinois Tech name, any associated name or suggest any affiliation with Illinois Tech; or operate any facility on or off campus in relation to Illinois Tech or for members of the Illinois Tech community.
Any sanction may carry additional conditions as deemed necessary by the Vice Provost and Dean of Students, or designee, Decisions rendered by the Vice Provost and Dean of Students, or designee, against an organization may be appealed as provided for in the Code of Conduct.
Illinois Tech reserves the right to hold both individuals and organizations, including fraternities and sororities, responsible for their actions. A student may be held individually responsible while, concurrently or consecutively, an organization may be held responsible for the same violation. The two processes are separate and independent. Charges against individual students will be processed in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article II, Section B.
