Actions for Code of Conduct Violations

The following outlines the actions to be taken by the group on members who break the code of conduct. Consequences are detailed based on the number and severity of infractions.

First Infraction:

• Verbal Warning: The member will receive a verbal warning from the Chief Representative or any Governing Body member. This warning will outline the specific violation and provide guidance on expected corrective behavior to ensure the member understands the seriousness of the issue.
• Documentation: The incident will be documented in the member's record. This documentation will serve as a reference for future actions if further infractions occur. The member will be informed that further violations will lead to more severe consequences.

Second Infraction:

• Written Warning: The member will receive a formal written warning. This warning will detail the nature of the infraction, reference the previous verbal warning, and outline the steps required to avoid future violations. The written warning will be added to the member's record.
• Informing the faculty coordinators: Faculty coordinators will be informed about the incident, and the behaviour of the said student would be noted down by the faculty.

Third Infraction:

• Temporary Suspension: The member will be temporarily suspended from participating in chapter activities for a defined period, such as one month. The duration of the suspension will depend on the severity and nature of the violations. The member will be notified in writing about the suspension and its terms.
• Mandatory Meeting: The member will be required to attend a meeting with the faculties and HoD to discuss their behavior. During this meeting, a plan for improvement will be developed, and the member will be given a chance to express their viewpoint and commit to corrective actions.

Fourth Infraction:

• Expulsion: The member will be expelled from the chapter. This decision will be communicated in writing, clearly stating the reasons for expulsion and summarizing the previous infractions and actions taken. The member will be informed of the appeal process if they wish to contest the decision.
• Notification: Depending on the nature and severity of the violations, university officials may be notified of the expulsion. This ensures that the university is aware of the member's behavior and the actions taken by the chapter.

Severe Infractions:

• For severe violations, such as harassment, discrimination, or illegal activities, immediate expulsion may be warranted without prior warnings. The chapter prioritizes the safety and well-being of its members and takes such infractions very seriously.
• Investigation: In cases of severe infractions, the chapter will conduct a thorough investigation to gather all relevant information. The member involved will be given an opportunity to present their case and provide any evidence or explanations.
• Final Decision: After the investigation, the chapter leadership will make a final decision regarding the appropriate action. The member will be informed of the decision in writing, and the reasons for the action will be clearly explained.

By outlining these steps, the CSI - MJCET Student Chapter ensures that all members are aware of the potential consequences of violating the code of conduct and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a respectful and professional environment.
