This faculty and staff PowerPoint presentation is designed to provide campus leaders and those who handle discipline a format with which to educate faculty and staff on the nuances and responsibility of clear communication to students--prior to any incident--on the consequences of inappropriate behavior in the classroom and on campus. It is felt that the more folks understand about student discipline and the means to carry it out at all levels, the better a campus will be able to address more serious issues and stop problems before they become major incidents. We hope this PowerPoint presentation will be a starting point for that effort on your campus
