Most Penalties on Men
Imposed by Dean's Office
(This is the sixth of a series of articles discussing the men's
disciplinary system. Today the position occupied by the office
of the dean of men in that system will be explained.)
The dean of men's office is the main cog in the men's
disciplinary machinery. The office instigates all action, in
vestigates•all incidents and has the final say in most penalties
imposed on men students".
Only the Senate Sub-Committee on Discipline has more
authority on discipline cases thanj
does the dean of men's office. This
sub-committee_ reviews all men's!
cases which involve penalties of
suspended suspension or those
more severe. The sub-committee
will be discussed in a later article.!
All men's disciplinary cases be -1
gin with an investigation of an
incident by a member of the dean:
of men's staff. Daniel R. Leasure,!
assistant dean of men said,
If a student, living in a resi- !
dence hall. is caught breaking
a University regulation; he is
referred to his counselor. The
counselor, after he investigates
the case, hands all information
concerning it to the counselor ,
coordinator ip that area.
The coordinator can then either!
refer the case,•to the area tribunal;
for its recoMtnendation, Leasure!
explained, or make a decision on
the case himself, after consulta
tion with .the dean's office ,
