Only the President or his designee may authorize a suspension.

minimum sanction of suspension.

serious violation of College standards and that continued enrollment depends upon the maintenance of satisfactory
citizenship during the period of probation.
e. DISCIPLINARY CENSURE. A disciplinary sanction serving notice to a student that the student’s behavior has not met
College standards. This sanction remains in effect for the duration of one complete semester. Future violations of any
College policy, procedure, or Student Code of Conduct, if occurring while disciplinary censure is in effect, could result in
more serious disciplinary sanctions.

of discipline, up to and including termination, as set forth in the Eastern Florida State College Procedures Manual, and/or
applicable collective bargaining agreement then in effect. Generally, for Staff and Faculty members, a recommendation of
termination or other disciplinary action may implicate other applicable laws, procedures, and legal processes which may
involve additional steps depending on the circumstances.

this Procedures Manual Section 800.10.
2. The exercise of rights protected under the First Amendment does not constitute retaliation.

circumstances as a report or complaint of sex discrimination, or a report or formal complaint of Sexual Misconduct, for
