Student discipline

All students shall be responsible for conducting themselves in a manner that helps to enhance an environment of learning in which the rights, dignity, worth and freedom of each member of the academic community are respected. (See the Code of the University of North Carolina, Section 608.)

If a student's behavior in the classroom is disruptive so that it impacts negatively on the learning environment, it is the right and obligation of the faculty member to ask the student to stop or to leave the classroom. If the disruptive behavior continues, the faculty member should inform the Dean of Students of the problem.

Disciplinary proceedings in the university must insure due process, as set forth in Section 502 D(3) of the Code.
