Policy Statement

A Faculty member has a responsibility to maintain the proper class atmosphere. This means that in addition to making an interesting, meaningful presentation to the students, each Faculty member will be supportive of all other members of the Carolina University family, including University Administration, Deans of Students, the Maintenance crew, and all chapel speakers. Teachers are under obligation to correct such abuses for the sake of those in the class who are there for serious study.

Policy Procedures

The teacher has the right to dismiss any offender from class and count the offender absent from that class. Repeat offenders should be reported to the Provost or Executive VP for Academic Affairs.


Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
