The College assumes no responsibility or liability for minors on College property or on the site of any approved off- campus class or other college events, nor for any accidents or injuries to minors occurring on College property. Employees, students, or visitors who bring minors to the College are responsible for all aspects of the minor’s behavior, including the minor’s safety and are financially responsible for any damages caused by the minor.
Minors are encouraged to come to campus for college-sanctioned activities specifically scheduled and designed for their benefit.
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 LTC representative. The LTC 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 LTC 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 Technical College, at all locations, is vested within the College District Board and Office of the College President. College buildings and premises of all types are intended for educational purposes authorized by the District Board and President. College buildings and all premises are not a forum open to the general public for public discourse or political activity, as defined herein. The District Board and College President have not designated, and no official of the College is authorized without prior Board approval, to designate any area of College premises, either in whole or in part, to be an open public forum or limited public forum for the purpose of public discourse or political activity as defined, herein.
The mission of the College is andragogic. The District Board, College President, and other College officials act in the public interest through precluding a public impression that the College endorses particular political candidates, groups, messages, or positions.
With the exception of forums, student "straw polls," and similar student programs, specifically sanctioned by the College President, political activity is not permitted in any College building or at any location on College premises, wherever located, at any time. Political activity includes but is not limited to; distribution or posting of political campaign literature, leafleting, posting of signs, circulating petitions, and nomination papers, political fundraising, picketing, rallies, protests, meetings, speeches, demonstrations, and hand billing, and any other activities which disrupt academic work or any function of the College.
Subject to applicable local ordinances, political activity is authorized on public walkways along roads contiguous to College premises. Public walkways may be recognized as traditional public forums. Political activity on public walkways, however, may not disrupt or interfere with the College curriculum, the orderly ingress or egress of persons from College buildings, the safe and efficient movement of persons on or off of College premises, or the orderly operation of classes, or functioning of the College. The College President is authorized to take necessary and reasonable action to restrict or limit the effect of political activity occurring off of College premises, which directly and adversely impacts College premises, so long as such restrictions are non-discriminatory and viewpoint neutral.
Campus security resources and law enforcement agencies will be summoned in response to conduct in violation of the terms of this policy which is disruptive, threatening, or a violation of law.
REPORTING OF CRIMINAL ACTIONS
Individuals should dial 911 from LTC campus phones in an emergency situation.
