    The IU-EMS executive board retains the right of discretion in disciplinary action.  The executive board will

 handle each infraction individually, taking its circumstances into consideration.  Therefore, the executive

 board retains the rights to the following actions:

• Dismissing an infraction.

• Issuing a verbal or written warning for an infraction without a point deduction.

• Adjusting the number of points recorded in a member's membership record for an infraction, either raising or lowering the corresponding number listed above.

• Allowing a member to exceed 15 points.

• Expelling a member who has accrued less than 15 points.

• Taking disciplinary action that it deems appropriate for an infraction not listed above.

• Taking any other disciplinary action it deems appropriate.

• Reporting violations to the office of the IU Dean of Faculties, local law enforcement, and/or the United States Office of Civil Rights as necessary.

    A member who is subject to disciplinary action may request to appeal the action to the executive board.

 The executive board's subsequent disciplinary action after an appeal is final.  The IU-EMS president has final

 authority in all disciplinary matters, followed by the vice president.  For detailed policies and protocols,

 including the uniform policy, visit the appropriate pages on the website or request printed copies from the

 executive board.
