Policy & Procedures
I. Statement of Policy
As an educational institution of higher education, Western Nebraska Community
College seeks to provide the best educational environment for its students, faculty,
and staff. It is mindful that academic freedom is an essential element of college
life. The purpose of this Code is to help ensure a safe and educationally productive
environment for students, employees and visitors. Conduct that adversely affects
a student’s responsible membership in the academic community shall result in
appropriate disciplinary action.
To carry out its goal the College requires each student to obey the rules and
regulations established by the College and all local, state, and federal laws.
The College will not tolerate deliberately disruptive words, actions, violence or
physical interference with the rights of any member of our College community or
with any of the facilities of the College, or with any authorized functions being
carried out on the College campus or at any college sponsored event.
Therefore, in furthering the educational aims of the College and in compliance
with state and federal law, the College President is empowered to establish, publish
and disseminate Student Code of Conduct procedures establishing the rules and
regulations concerning conduct, the means of enforcement, and penalties for any
violations thereof.
The College will have jurisdiction over misconduct that occurs on the College
campus and/or premises, at College sponsored activities (on or off campus), with
the use of College property, and may also address off-campus behavior if the
College determines that the student’s conduct, or the continued presence of the
student, adversely affects the educational environment, processes or functions of
the College.
