Lewis-Clark State College is a regional state college offering
undergraduate instruction in the liberal arts and sciences, professional areas tailored to
the educational needs of Idaho, applied technical programs which support the state and
local economy, and other educational programs designed to meet the needs of Idahoans.
Lewis-Clark State College will formulate its academic plan and generate programs with
primary emphasis in the areas of business, criminal justice, nursing, social work, teacher
preparation and vocational-technical education. The College will give continuing emphasis
to select programs offered on and off campus at nontraditional times, using nontraditional
means of delivery and serving a highly diverse student body. Lewis-Clark State College
will maintain basic strengths in the liberal arts and sciences, which provide the core
curriculum or general education portion of the curriculum.
Lewis-Clark State College derives from the State of Idaho its
legal authority to provide programs and services to its students. This
authority is vested in the State Board of Education and in the College's
President.
Upon enrollment a student is entitled to receive the services
and participate in the activities of the College. As a member of the
College community, each student is expected to participate freely in and to
support academic processes. To maintain the quality of its programs and to
protect the integrity of academic freedom for its community as a whole, the
College must have the power to education and correct those who do not follow its
rules and regulations or who disrupt its programs.
Lewis-Clark State College aspires to maintain academic freedom
and to maximize individual responsibility. The College affirms that the
process of finding, preserving, and disseminating knowledge in a program of
higher education can fully prosper only when there is open and continual
dialogue among students, faculty and administration.
The following Student Code of Conduct for the student
community attempts to establish these ideals in practice. It should be
noted that the student judicial proceedings of the College are not analogous to
criminal proceedings in federal, state or local courts and will not be conducted
with the same formalities and procedures afforded in criminal proceedings.
The Code was jointly written by student, faculty and staff, given final form by
the Faculty Senate Student Affairs Committee, reviewed by both the Student
Senate and the Faculty Senate, and approved by the President's Cabinet.
