"Bunker Hill Community College expects students to behave in a manner that is appropriate to a collegiate environment."

July 12, 2017

The title of this page is the first sentence of the Bunker Hill Community College's Behavior Policies.


I haven't violated anything from the school's Code of Conduct.  This was the school's final decision about my conduct in May 2016, the first time that I reported being harassed at school:


_________________________________________________________________________________

1. Verbal Reprimand – The lightest form of disciplinary action. A verbal warning may be documented in writing.

At that time, I felt that I had to accept the Verbal Reprimand because it seemed that was the only resolution that the Dean of Students and the Director of Student Services would offer to resolve the false charges against me.  Then I spent the rest of the summer of 2016 on my (ultimately successful) grade appeal for the Chinese teacher failing me in retaliation for my saying that it was her responsibility to conduct a classroom where students weren't harassed or bullied, while the school pretended not to know who the student instigator of the harassment was until he stalked and harassed me online in September 2016, using his first and last name.


This is what the Dean and the Director did to me last week for reporting being harassed every semester that I was a student at Bunker Hill Community College:

8. Suspension – Temporary removal from the College or a program, without financial reimbursement, for a specified period of time. A suspended student may not enter College property and loses all privileges to participate in any College activities.

This is how I'll have to spend the remainder of my time as a student at Bunker Hill Community College; that's if the school were to accept my reapplication after the suspension is over in August of 2018, which it probably wouldn't:


_________________________________________________________________________________


7. Probation – A student’s status at the College is in jeopardy due to one or more violations of the Code of Conduct. Probation is a more severe sanction than a reprimand. For the duration of a stated probationary period, a student must comply with College rules and regulations or other stipulated conditions or requirements. Unless expressly authorized by the CCA, a student on probation may not represent the College in any context, run for or hold office in any student organizations or participate in intercollegiate athletic teams, intramural programs, or any student clubs or organizations.

This is another quote from the school's Student Code of Conduct, which the Dean obviously doesn't think applies to me, since all I had done in June 2017 was tell other students in my French class about previous situations in which I'd been harassed in class.  I have underlined the right that the Dean doesn't seem to think I have:

_________________________________________________________________________________

Introduction Bunker Hill Community College recognizes that all students, as members of the college community, enjoy the freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of association, freedom of the press, right of petition and the right of due process. These rights do not come without responsibilities and respect for others in the College community. Attendance at the College is a privilege and not a right, and enrollment carries with it obligations in regard to conduct, both in and out of class. Students are responsible for knowing and understanding the contents of this Code. Students are responsible for abiding by the laws governing the College and are expected to observe standards of conduct set by the College.
