Student Conduct & Regulations 33|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey at Kutztown University's Student Consumer Information portal at the following website: https://www.kutztown.edu/student-consumer-information.html. Students who violate university policy with respect to copyright infringement and illegal downloading will be held accountable through the university student conduct process. Minor first-time offenses subject students to a disciplinary reprimand and participation in an educational program about copyright infringement and illegal downloading. If an infraction occurs on the residence hall network a student will be required to bring their computer or computing device to the ResNet Office for inspection and cleaning prior to having their network access restored. Repeat offenders may have their network privileges temporarily or permanently revoked; prolific or chronic offenders may face removal from the residence halls, suspension from the institution and/or permanent loss of computer privileges. As noted above, a student may face criminal or civil action in addition to any administrative response from the university. 3. Attempted Violations In most circumstances, the university will treat attempts to commit any of the violations listed in the Student Code of Conduct as if the attempted offense had been completed. 4. University as Complainant As necessary, the university reserves the right to initiate a complaint, to serve as the complainant, and to initiate student conduct proceedings without a formal complaint by the victim of misconduct. 5. Disclosure to Victims of Crimes of Violence The University will, upon written request, disclose to an alleged victim (or next of kin if the victim is deceased) of a crime of violence or nonforcible sexual offense the report on the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the University against a student who is the alleged perpetrator of such crime or offense. 6. Amnesty for Victims The university encourages the reporting of Student Code of Conduct violations and crimes by victims therefore the university will follow a policy of offering victims of serious crimes or offenses amnesty from secondary student conduct infractions related to the incident question. a. The Good Samaritan Policy for Alcohol & Other Drug Incidents (STU-032) provides conditions for amnesty related to the reporting of alcohol and drug related medical emergencies. b. The Sexual Misconduct Policy provides conditions for amnesty from secondary offenses (e.g. alcohol violations) related to the reporting of sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking incidents. 7. Reporting Time Members of the university community are urged to report incidents immediately after it occurs. To receive full consideration reports must be submitted in a reasonable period of time from date of infraction. For major violations, there is no specific statute of limitation on reporting a violation but university response to reports received after a significant period of time has elapsed may be limited given the availability of witnesses, evidence or involved parties. 8.
