The Conduct Code : An Overview
In his Foundation Deed , Isaiah Williamson charged the college to undertake “ the moral and religious training of the scholars .” To that end , and as part of its mission to foster the values of faith , integrity , diligence , excellence , and service , the college has established a Conduct Code . The code is designed to protect the rights of each individual in the Williamson community ; to provide a clean , safe , and well-ordered community with an atmosphere conducive to education ; and to help students entering careers in business and industry develop the responsibility , discipline , respect for authority , and ability to follow instructions that are essential for success .
There is a philosophical understanding that a Williamson education molds young men by creating standards towards which each student is expected to rise . Consequently , there is a greater expectation of Seniors than of Juniors and a greater expectation of Juniors than of Freshmen . As such , disciplinary standards in the Conduct Code have been developed to reflect the greater emphasis on positive leadership and responsibility as the student progresses through his education at Williamson . It does not include every possible sub-classification of the offenses indicated , but offers a general guide to the rules governing the conduct of individual students and student groups . Because admission to Williamson is a privilege , it is assumed that the college ’ s regulations will be followed diligently .
Disciplinary Points and Restriction Hours
To ensure that students follow the Conduct Code , the college has instituted a disciplinary system that entails citations for violations of the Conduct Code and the assignment of Disciplinary Points . Under the system , any Williamson supervising authority can cite a student for violation of the Conduct Code ( in accordance with the rules outlined therein ). Each citation carries with it a certain number of Disciplinary Points . Students are required to work off Disciplinary Points each year in service to the college . Specific Information with regard to Conduct Code violations can be found in the Student Handbook .
Disciplinary Appeal
The college intends to be fair and consistent in enforcing the Conduct Code . To this end , Williamson has established a Conduct Code Review
