"Liberty" University

Liberty University AlumnusAt first, I thought their Code of Conduct was a parody. But looking through the website, and examining the HTML source, it looks very much as if it's for real.

A selection of offences and penalties :
4 Reprimands + Written Warning
  • Improper personal contact (anything beyond hand-holding)
  • Improper sign out
  • Music code violation
6 Reprimands + $35 Fine
  • Attendance at a dance
  • Possession and/or use of tobacco
12 Reprimands + $70 Fine (less previously paid fines)
  • Attendance at, possession or viewing of, an "R," "NC-17" or "X"-rated movie
  • Participation in an unauthorized petition or demonstration
18 Reprimands + $100 Fine (regardless of previously paid fines) + 18 hours Disciplinary Community Service + 50% Scholarship Reduction
  • Association with those consuming alcohol
  • Sexual misconduct and/or any state of undress
30 Reprimands + $150 Fine (regardless of previously paid fines) + 30 hours Disciplinary Community Service + possible Administrative Withdrawal and/or possible 100% Scholarship Reduction. NOTE: For each accumulation of six (6) or more reprimands after 30, an additional $150 fine will be assessed.
  • Failure of three (3) Christian/Community Services without reconciliation
  • Non-participation/disruption/non-compliance (possible removal/exclusion from campus)
  • Refusal to submit to an Alco-Sensor test and/or drug test
Anyone in Academe reading this post who has trouble with unruly students - just refer them to this site, and tell them to thank their lucky stars. To paraphrase Arthur Dent, "This is some strange new meaning of the word 'Liberty' which I wasn't previously aware of.

Still, anyone who goes to this place should know what to expect.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
