Summary
Making disrespectful comments in a college setting can lead to various consequences based on the institutions policies. In this case, the colleges policy outlines a process for handling unprofessional behavior, which includes an initial meeting, potential sanctions, and the possibility of appealing decisions. Sanctions can range from writing assignments to suspension or expulsion. The context and content of the comments, as well as the specific policies of the college, will determine the outcome. If you face severe consequences, consider seeking legal advice to understand your rights and options.Full Conversation

When a report of unprofessional behavior is received, the Chair of CAPP or the Director
of Experiential Education (if it is a report from an experiential site) is responsible for
gathering any additional information from the person(s) filing the compliant. Then, The
Chair of CAPP or the Director of Experiential Education will hold an initial meeting with
*
the student. This meeting will inform the student of the complaint and explore the student’s
perspective. Relevant professional values, principles or standards will be discussed with
the student. After the initial assessment, the CAPP along with the Associate Dean of
Pharmacy, and if applicable, the Director of Experiential will make one of the following
recommendations:
i. The complaint requires no additional action and is resolved. If the complaint requires
no additional action and is resolved, written documentation of the complaint and its
resolution will be maintained by the Office of the Associate Dean of Pharmacy until
said student graduates.
ii. The student will be given an appropriate internal sanction for the unprofessional
behavior, such as writing a comprehensive literature review in the area of an ethical
violation, writing a professional paper that focuses on the ethical topic from which
the complaint has arisen, attending several mentoring sessions with a program
administrator, etc... If the student accepts the sanction, the matter is resolved upon
completion of the sanction. Written documentation of the complaint, sanction and
completion of the sanction will be maintained by the Office of the Associate Dean of
Pharmacy until said student graduates.
If the student does not accept the sanction, the student may appeal to the EACPHS
Dean within 10 days of notification. The EACPHS Dean will make a final decision
on the matter.
iii. If it is determined that a sanction of suspension, expulsion/dismissal and/or a
transcript notation may be warranted, the matter shall be further reviewed by CAPP
along with the Associate Dean of Pharmacy, Director of Experiential (if applicable),
and/or Dean of EACPHS and be handled pursuant to the provisions set forth in
