As to any matter listed above which is preceded by an asterisk (*), a report is to be filed immediately with the police or appropriate government offices, as well as with the Chief Financial Officer. If any case which is submitted to the police results in an arrest, the University may, in its discretion, immediately suspend the student from all University classes and activities subject to a review of the case by the Student Discipline Committee. If any case which is submitted to the police results in a conviction, then the student shall be immediately suspended from all University classes and activities subject to a review of the case by the Student Discipline Committee if no prior action had been undertaken.

The fact that a person is convicted or acquitted in a criminal proceeding is not controlling on any determination to be made by the Student Discipline Committee. The fact that a person charged with a violation of conduct pleads guilty to an offense in a criminal proceeding may be considered by the Student Discipline Committee as an admission.
