3. Complicity
A student shall not, knowingly or intentionally, through act or omission, assist another
student, individual, or group in committing or attempting to commit a violation of the
College’s Code of Conduct. A student who has knowledge of another committing or
attempting to commit a violation of the Code of Conduct is expected to remove him or
herself from the situation.
4. False Accusations
The College recognizes that the question of whether a particular conduct constitutes a
violation of the Student Code of Conduct requires a case by case factual determination. The
College recognizes that false accusations have serious effects on innocent persons. If it
becomes clear that a person who has accused another of a violation has maliciously or
recklessly made a false accusation, the accuser will be considered in violation of the Student
Code of Conduct. It is important to note, however, that the fact that a complaint is not
substantiated or is determined not to constitute a violation does not mean that the complaint
was maliciously or recklessly made.
