Tlie student is expected to consult with his advisor on all matters relating to his major and related work and to seek advice on other
questions concerning his academic profjram.

are available to assess academic potential, vocational aptitude, and personal adjustment.

It is the student's responsibility to select and register for the proper course needed for his major program and which will enal)le him to
satisfy degree requirements at the time he expects to graduate. In selecting courses he may step up one level of course innnbcrs or down
one, i.e., a freshman may step up to a 200-level course or a junior may step down to a 200-level course. If the student registers for a
course for which he has received credit at West Georgia (College or elsewhere, he forfeits the courKC credit.

CLASS A TTEISDAJSCE

Circulars inform the instructor of absences resulting from college-sponsored activities, and each student is issued a slip when he en-
ters the infirmary. The student is expected to explain all other absences to each of his instructors. Any non-dormitory student wh( must

The West (Georgia (College Student Outer is a multipurj)ose building which is used for both a campus dining hall and a Siiidciii \( -
tivities Center. Due to the unique nature of this building, it is the focal point for many diversified activities. The Student (.enter

REGENTS' STA TEMENT ON DISRUPTIVE BEHA VIOR

The following is the policy of ihc Board of Rcfjents reftardin}^ disruptive behavior in any institution of the University System. The
rights, responsibilities and prohibitions contained in this Statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations.

The Board of Regents of the University System of (Georgia reaffirms its policies to support fully freedom of expression by each mem-
ber of the academic community and to preserve and protect the rights and freedom of its faculty members and students to engage in
debate, decision, peaceful and non-disruptive protest and dissent. The following statement relates specificially to the problem described
below. It does not change or in any way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in support of freedom of expression
and action. Rather, it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive actions by stu-
dents and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through which it operates.

In recent years a new and serious problem has ap|)eared on many college and university campuses in the nation. Some sirudents,
faculty mcml)ers, and others iiavc on occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and deliberately
interfered with the regular and orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have been the physical oc-
cupation of a building or cam[)us area for a protracted period of time or the use or display of verbal or written obscenities inv()lving in-
decent or disorderly conduct.

These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for discussion, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1)
ac(piiescence to demands of the demonstrators is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written directions of in-
stitutional officials to <lisperse have been ignored. Such activities thus liave become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating
outside all established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persuasion which are at the very heart of
education.

The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by tliis new problem. Under the (constitution of the Slate of (Georgia, under all ap|ilicable
court rulings, and in kee|)ing with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Hoard is ultimately responsible for the or-
derly o| alion of the several institutions of the University System and the preservation of academic freedom in these institutions. The
Board .innot and will not divert itself of this responsibility.

Of niial. or even greater importance, such action of force as has been described above <iestroys the very essence of higher education.
Th- ' nve is found in the unhani|>ered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect or issue of life. This
frccdoii'. which reaches its full flowering on college and university campuses, is an essential |>art of American democracy, com|)arai)le
to the jury system or the electoral process.

For these rcas(ns and in order to respond directly and specificallv to this new problem the Board of Regents stipulates tiiat any
student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly obstructs or disrupts any
tcacliing. research, administrative, flisciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized to be discharged or held on
any campus of the University System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall
be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of em|)loyment.

The Board reaffirms its belief tiial all segments of the academic community are under a strong obligation and have a mutual respon-
sibility to protect tile cam|>us community from disorderly, disru|)tive, or obstructive acti(ns which interfere with academic pursuits of
teaching, learning, and other canipus activities.

The Board of Regents iniderstands that this policy is consistent with resolutions adopted i)y the American Association of University
Professors in April, 1968, by the Association of American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Committee of the
Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher
education. (Minutes, 1968-69, pp. 166-169).
