The Beginning – 1700s
Some of the earliest forms of misconduct were dealing with students who had issues with the institution
• Corporal punishment was viewed as acceptable, but gave way to rustication and degradation (Thelin, 2004)
College presidents and administrators were at the will of donors and enforced what they wanted (as cited in Kapfl, 2011)

Early 1800s
More colleges emerged and donor influence declined
In Loco Parentis Strict rules were established and all aspects
of student life were regulated Humiliation and fines served as forms of
discipline Expulsions and suspensions were viewed as
ways to remove unwanted behaviors
(As cited in Kapfl)

Mid 1800s
Less emphasis on strict discipline led to fewer rebellions on campus
Student self-discipline and self-governance began to form students treated as young adults
Emphasis on utilitarianism and democracy
Code of conduct was more formalized
(as cited in Kapfl)

Late 1800s – A Glimpse to the Future
Special police forces were hired faculty no longer served the as only
disciplinarian Student committees formed in dorms to
maintain order Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania, Chicago
Student advisors consulted with faculty on various issues and matters that arose Princeton, Virginia, Wesleyan, Bates
Student governments eventually gained more power
(as cited in Kapfl)

1900s
Early 1900s continued to focus on student driven systems with assistance of faculty and staff
1960s brought an emphasis on the legality of student discipline Dixon v. Alabama State Board of Education - Six
black students were expelled after participating in a civil rights demonstration. They did not receive a hearing before the expulsion. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals determined it was necessary for students to have a hearing
(as cited in Kapfl)

What now?
Discipline moved into a legal minded direction relationship between student and institution is
viewed by the courts as contractual Brought about the label “judicial affairs” Disciplinarians implement more formal
investigations and ask more questions Educational opportunity to help students look
at the case objectively and to help understand their actions and consequences – Not punishment, but education

alcohol violations; goes back into paying for drug and alcohol education
Extra money goes into more campus programming from the office and other on campus organizations
Money can be requested by other organizations if the program is related to conduct education

Analysis of MSU’s Office of Student Conduct
Mission: “to educate students concerning their rights, privileges, and corresponding duties and responsibilities.”
The office is responsible for “adjudicating alleged violations of the code, safeguarding student rights, and dealing with emergency situations which involve students”
(Office of Student Conduct, 2009)
![Page 20: Student Conduct](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815ed1550346895dcd5ed4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Proactive vs Reactive
Proactive side of the office consists of upholding the student conduct code, educating, and referring students
Reactive side of the office involves disciplinary and sanctioning in regards to violations.
Also provides resources for sexual assault victims, drug abuse, alcoholism, and family violence
