Student concerns will be addressed via the following procedure:
Step 1
Student completes and submits the Questions, Concerns and Suggestions form. The form is available online at cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?LakeshoreTC&layout_id=6.
Step 2
The Registrar/Student Conduct Officer will contact the student to gather any information regarding the concern that has been raised. The Registrar/Student Conduct Officer will also make every attempt to meet with the other party/parties related to the shared concern to gather additional information.
Step 3
The Registrar/Student Conduct Officer will attempt to resolve the concern by scheduling a meeting with the parties involved, if necessary. The Registrar/Student Conduct Officer will serve as a neutral third party during this meeting which is designed to follow a process to resolve the concern informally. The goal of the mediation process is to provide a resolution to the concern that is acceptable to both parties. If a meeting is deemed to not be necessary, the Registrar/Student Conduct Officer will relay the concern and all related information to the individual or campus office that is best positioned to address and resolve the concern.
Step 4
If the mediation meeting fails to resolve the matter, it will be referred to one of two Vice Presidents for a final decision. If instructional in nature, the Vice President of Instruction would be the final step in the process. If the matter involves anything other than instruction concerns, the Vice President of Student Success would be the final step in the process.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Freedom of thought, inquiry, speech, and lawful assembly are fundamental rights of all persons. These rights include the freedom to express opinions; to hear, express and debate various views, no matter how unpopular; and to voice criticism. Free speech is uniquely important to Lakeshore as it brings about a free interchange of ideas integral to the College’s fundamental mission of teaching, research, and public service.
The College encourages students to present ideas, express their individuality and culture, and be open to thoughts or lifestyles that differ from their own. The College expects all students will present themselves in a respectful manner that does not endanger, threaten, or infringe on the rights of others. The College also expects students will not conduct themselves in a manner that will infringe on another individual’s education or the mission of the College. Students that fail to meet these expectations can be referred to the Student Conduct Process.
