The Board's Commitment to Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression policy states that a formal investigation and disciplinary hearing is required the second time a formal complaint alleges a student has engaged in violent or other disorderly misconduct that materially and substantially disrupted the free expression of others. The policy also requires that any student who has twice been found responsible for misconduct that materially and substantially disrupted the free expression of others at any time during the student's enrollment shall be suspended for a minimum of one semester. Finally, the policy requires that any student who has three times been found responsible for misconduct that materially and substantially disrupted the free expression of others at any time during the student's enrollment shall be expelled. The Board policy states that these measures would be effective upon amendment of Chapter UWS 17 under Chapter 227 of the Wisconsin Statutes to include a parallel provision.
