APPENDIX F
Classroom Management Statement
Membership in the
academic community places a
special obligation on all members to preserve an atmosphere
conducive to a safe and positive learning environment.
Part of that obligation implies the responsibility of each
member of the NAU community to maintain an environment in
which the behavior of any individual is not disruptive.
It is the responsibility of each
student to behave in a manner that does not interrupt nor
disrupt the delivery of education by faculty members or receipt
of education by students, within and/or outside the classroom.
The determination of whether such interruption and/or disruption has
occurred must be made by the faculty member at the time the
behavior occurs. It becomes the responsibility of the
individual faculty member to maintain and enforce the standards
of behavior acceptable to preserving an atmosphere for teaching
and learning in accordance with University regulations and the
course syllabus.
At a minimum, a student will be warned
if his/her behavior is considered by the faculty member to be
disruptive. Serious disruptions, as determined by the
faculty member, may result in immediate removal of the student
from the instructional environment. Significant and/or
continued violations of this policy may result in an administrative withdrawal
of the student from the class. Additional responses by the faculty member
to disruptive behavior may include a range of actions from
discussing the disruptive behavior with the student to referral
to the appropriate academic unit and/or the Office of Student
Life for administrative review, in an effort to implement
corrective action up to and including suspension or expulsion.
