College Disciplinary Procedures e College of New Jersey, as an institution of higher education and a community dedicated to learning and the advancement of knowledge, expects and requires the behavior of community members to be compatible with its high standards of scholarship and conduct. Members of the college community are encouraged to participate in all aspects of campus life. For the college, this means a firm institutional commitment to protect the community and the rights of its members, and to cultivate and sustain a positive living and learning environment. us, sexual violence will not be tolerated. e U.S. Department of Education and its Office for Civil Rights emphasize the importance of providing all community members with an educational environment free from discrimination.

In efforts to protect the safety of victims and promote accountability for behavior, designees receive at minimum, ongoing annual training on topics including, but not limited to, the college's policies/procedures related to Title IX and the Student Code of Conduct (including review of Prohibited Conduct and Violations of Expectations for Student Conduct), how to conduct thorough and impartial investigations, trauma informed practices, rationale writing, how to serve as a formal hearing administrator for Title IX and Student Conduct cases.
