Exceptional circumstances (applicable to employees and students only)
Minors may be brought into a particular workplace or classroom setting, in exceptional circumstances, if prior written approval is granted by an authorized Lakeshore representative. The Lakeshore employee or student is still responsible for the minor’s safety, behavior, and are financially responsible for any damages caused by the minor.
NON-REGISTERED INDIVIDUALS IN THE CLASSROOM
To preserve the integrity of the educational environment, non-registered individuals are not allowed in Lakeshore classrooms, labs, shops, or designated testing areas, except when the non-registered individuals are part of the instructional activities. Exceptions may be made in cases of emergencies and with prior approval from the Dean or their delegate.
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON COLLEGE PREMISES
The care, control, and management of the campus of the Lakeshore, at all locations, is vested within
the College District Board and Office of the College President. The Colleges’ Political Activities policy can be found here.
REPORTING OF CRIMINAL ACTIONS
Individuals should dial 911 from Lakeshore campus phones in an emergency situation.
SOLOMON ACT
Congress in 1996 enacted a series of laws that address Military Recruiting and Reserve Officers’ Training Corp (ROTC) Program Access to Students of Higher Education (commonly referred to as the “Solomon Amendment”). Under these laws, colleges must give recruiters access to their campuses and provide them with lists containing “student recruiting information” in order to help military recruiters meet congressionally mandated recruitment numbers. The Solomon Amendment overrides FERPA and gives the military the right to receive data designated as “student recruiting information.” If an institution or its sub elements does not comply, the entire institution risks losing certain federal funds.
STANDARD OF EVIDENCE
Lakeshore uses the preponderance of evidence standard in all matters involving students. This includes student code of conduct (academic and non-academic), Title IX, and equity cases. The preponderance of evidence standard is defined as such that a party has shown that its version of facts, causes, damages, and fault is more likely than not to be the correct version.
