Has it been more than a year since you revised your student conduct code? If so, it’s time to update it. Let TNG’s expertise make it easier for you. Policy writing is what we do, and the four options below describe how we do it. We’ll help bring you up to date on both policies and judicial procedures, and we’ll do it for a fraction of the cost that others might charge.
A “Red-line” Comment Review: This option provides Institutions with a high-level review and gap analysis of the Code of Conduct. A TNG expert will review the Code of Conduct and make high-level, red-line suggestions and comments. The client receives the red-lined version as the finished product to do with as they wish. A TNG Consultant will set up a call after the document is complete to review the comments and help guide the institution on the next steps.
Policy and Procedure Review and Revision: Like the red-line review, this option would provide the institution with a more detailed review and gap analysis of the entire Student Handbook/Code of Conduct. Unlike the red-line, this review and revision (R&R) is preceded by a one- to two-hour call with the conduct officer or designated Code coordinator to discuss the campus culture, particular issues that have arisen, and red-flag areas. Additionally, where the red-line offers merely comments (e.g., on a missing policy), the R&R will suggest rewording and/or entire policy revision/suggestion. The result is a completely revised draft of the Student Handbook/Code of Conduct, accompanied by a brief memo highlighting major suggested modifications, additions, or other enhancements, and suggestions for implementation. This review culminates with a follow-up call (1-2 hours) to discuss the report.
Comprehensive System Review and Rewrite: This option would support a broad, thorough review of the student conduct system and involve a visit to campus and personal meetings with campus stakeholders over a day, beginning and ending with the Chief Conduct and/or CSAO. The report is the same as the R&R. Still, it can/should be accompanied by a second visit to present to stakeholders (faculty senate, student body leaders, student body, etc.) and/or engage in training of other sorts.
