Standards of Conduct
Definitions: The following conduct shall constitute good cause for discipline, including but not limited to the removal, suspension or expulsion of a student. 1. Causing, attempting to cause, or threatening to cause physical injury to another person. 2. Possession, sale or otherwise furnishing any firearm, knife, explosive or other dangerous object, including but not limited to any facsimile firearm, knife or explosive, unless, in the case of possession of any object of this type, the student has obtained written permission to possess the item from the Vice President of Student Services or appropriate designee. 3. Unlawful possession, use, sale, offer to sell, furnishing, or being under the influence of, any controlled substance listed in California Health and Safety Code Sections 11053 et seq., an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind; or unlawful possession of, or offering, arranging or negotiating the sale of any drug paraphernalia, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 11014.5. Marijuana is still federally illegal and therefore the use of recreational or medical marijuana will violate the District’s Drug-Free Environment and Drug Prevention Program policy. 4.
