4.15 Violation of State or Federal Law
The College expects that all employees will comply with the Federal and State Criminal Laws. The actions of employees may affect the College and as such, the violation of any criminal statutes, regardless of where the act may have been committed, may trigger disciplinary action by the College. Such disciplinary action may include termination of employment. Issues associated with violations of the criminal laws of the State and Federal Government involving employees off campus will be reviewed on a case by case basis. The action of the College related thereto shall be determined following a thorough review of the following factors:
- The nature of the offense;
- The relationship of the offense to the College;
- The impact of the offense upon the College, its mission, as well as the impact on the neighboring
community; and - The impact on the welfare, safety and security of the College campus.
The procedures related to disciplinary proceedings will be followed with respect to any action taken by the College as a result of the violation of this policy.
