| Racial Harassment |
Students have the right to be free from unlawful racial
harassment on College property or off College property during a College
related activity. Lewis-Clark State College will not tolerate
racial harassment. Racial harassment generally includes any
behavior, physical or verbal, that victimizes or stigmatizes an individual
on the basis of race, ethnicity, ancestry, or national origin.
For a further discussion of racial harassment see section number five (5)
under Code of Conduct. Incidents of alleged racial harassment
committed by one LCSC student toward another fall under the provisions of
this Code of Conduct, see the Director, Office of Student Life. Incidents which allegedly involve racial harassment of a
student by a member of the College staff fall under the jurisdiction of
the Campus Affirmative Action Officer (Human Resources). |

| Academic Affairs |
Students have the responsibility for selecting a major
field of study, for choosing an appropriate degree program within the
discipline, for planning class schedules, and ultimately for meeting the
requirements for his/her degree. The College will provide
advisors to assist students in academic planning, but students are
responsible for obtaining copies of appropriate academic bulletins and
being thoroughly familiar with all academic requirements which must be met
for a degree.

Students also have the responsibility to take advantage
of the educational opportunities presented by the College, to participate
in the learning process in a serious and conscientious manner, and to
respect the rights of other members of the College community.
