Filing Complaints Against Student Organizations

Complaints must be presented in writing to the Chair of the SEC. The complaint must outline the nature of the objections. SEC shall call a hearing with the officers or representatives of the organization. The person(s) who filed the original complaint must be present at the hearing. The organization against which the complaint has been filed shall have a representative attend the hearing. The organizational representative will have the opportunity to provide any information s/he wishes to be considered.

SEC shall reach a decision on the case by majority vote of those present and hearing the case. A quorum of four students and three faculty or administrators must be present. The decision of SEC is final. There is no further appeal. The authority of SEC concerning official recognition of student organizations does not supersede the authority of Westminster College pertaining to violations of the Code of Conduct as outlined in the Handbook for Students.
