Forfeiture of the privilege to attend the college may result from unsatisfactory conduct. If for any reason it is felt that an injustice has been done, the student may appeal to the Standards Committee for a hearing. The Committee may then recommend to the Administration that the student be reinstated if the Committee decides that the case warrants such action. College Attitude: A student enters college through choice rather than by law requirements. He is arriving at the age of maturity where good judgment and ability to make wise choices are most desirable. For these reasons he is given considerably more freedom than he has had in the past. Numerous rules and regulations governing this new degree of freedom are purposely omitted. It is presumed that college students are capable of acting as men and women. The vast majority of the students demonstrate their abilities to profit by these liberties. It is only the few who ostracize themselves because of their immature judgments. 35 ELIGD3ILTY Eligibility rules apply to students who participate in school activities, to members of social and service clubs, and to recipients of Weber College scholarships.
