DIRECTOR’S NOTES ON THE DISCIPLINE REPORT
a. While the overall number of petitions are down, all petitioners were successful in attaining permission
to pursue the readmission process.
b. Due to a change in Executive Directors and a desire to provide more detailed information in the report,
some comparisons to last years report would not be reliable. This is particularly true with regard to
more detailed information about code violations. True comparisons will be more readily available in
next year’s report.
c. Almost all alcohol and drug assessments will result in a referral to another Alcohol and Other Drug
Office program. It is difficult for us to track the exact referrals with our discipline software, but safe to
assume that CAAP, SAW, and individual appointment referrals are artificially low.
d. In January of 2007, OSCR began to require that all students 19 or 20 years of age who received their
first violation of the alcohol policy complete an Electronic Check-Up to Go (e-CHUG) computer
program. This program requires students to answer questions about their drinking behavior, provides
individualized feedback based on campus norms, and requires the student to answer essay questions
based on the feedback. Previously, these students had been issued a written reprimand and referred to
campus alcohol resources.
