April 2016
Revenues

Total revenues of $9,081,258 are $148,228 higher than the prior year primarily due to increases
in state funding.

Student Fee Revenues of $2,901,373 are $90,865 (3%) lower than the prior year primarily due to
the elimination of the distance learning fee ($46,942) and lower matriculation and non-resident
fees.


Performance Based Incentive Funding of $163,094 is an increase in funding over the prior year.


Other revenues of $344,294 are $125,930 lower than the prior year primarily due to the
proceeds for sale of capital assets received in fiscal year 2015.
Expenses

Personnel Expenses of $5,576,744 are $259,033 higher than the prior year as a result of filled

Section 1: SOCVue Security Monitoring Service Overview
EiQ Networks (“EiQ”) has developed a security monitoring service that addresses the significant challenges
of security monitoring products:
• Managing the complexity of SIEM and Log Management products
• Lack of trained personnel to manage SIEM and Log Management products
• Difficulty of gaining useful or meaningful information from SIEM and Log Management products
EiQ’s SOCVue® Security Monitoring Service is a subscription-based service that delivers the proper
people, process, and technology for an effective security program. EiQ Security Analysts will co-manage
the EiQ SecureVue® platform on the customer’s premises or in the cloud, and will continuously monitor
and make customers aware of potential issues. Through the assessment of Critical Security Controls,
EiQ helps organizations move towards a more proactive security posture.
The key benefits SOCVue® Security Monitoring Service delivers to customers are:
• Auditing IT infrastructure against Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense as recommended by SANS
and the Center for Internet Security (CIS)
• Continuous monitoring of log and event data of which customers need to be aware
• Daily and monthly reporting of security controls and incidents impacting the customer
• Assisting with compliance needs regarding PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other industry regulations
• Ongoing monitoring of the customer’s SecureVue® implementation
• Monthly review with certified EiQ Security Analysts covering the customer’s overall security posture and overall
system health
Page 3
Section 2: Key Components of the
Service
People
An effective security program is made up of People, Process, and
Technology. Traditional security monitoring products have focused
on the technology aspect without considering how to derive value
from the solution. SOCVue Security Monitoring Service takes a more
holistic approach, leading to more actionable intelligence and a
proactive security posture.
People
EiQ Security Operations Center (“SOC”) – The EiQ SOC is
operational 24x7 and serves as an extension of the customer’s
own security and IT staff.
Technology
Security and Product Expertise – The EiQ SOC is staffed
by information security experts and technicians who are
experienced at deploying, managing, and optimizing security monitoring technologies.
Continuous Monitoring – The EiQ SOC team provides around-the-clock coverage of the customer’s
security environment and will provide timely notification of any security incidents.
Process
Essential Correlations – After analyzing the customer’s log and event data, the SOC team will
develop a set of essential correlations – policy rules that will trigger an alert for suspicious activity
or security violations.
SANS Critical Controls – In addition to incident detection, SOCVue Security Monitoring Service
delivers continuous assessment of critical security controls, which are vital to strengthening the
security of the network and lowering data breach risk.
Daily Security Reporting – The EiQ SOC team delivers a daily report providing a snapshot of the
customer’s security posture, along with guidance for proactively addressing any security control
weaknesses.
Technology
SecureVue® Security Intelligence Platform – EiQ SecureVue is an award-winning Log Management
& SIEM solution that collects, stores, and analyzes security event data from across the IT
infrastructure.
Managed Solution – Unlike traditional, complicated SIEM solutions, SecureVue is installed and
configured by the EiQ SOC team as part of the service.
SOCVue Portal – View your security dashboard, manage security incidents and tasks, and download
reports from anywhere with the web-based SOCVue Portal.

Appendix
EiQ Network’s SOCVue Team is committed to delivering high-quality support and services to our
customers and partners. In the event that you need to escalate a case, our technical staff is ready and
available to help you effectively address your issue.
When should an escalation be initiated?
An escalation may be warranted if you are not satisfied with the level of service you have received, or
want to emphasize the urgency of the problem.
What is the process for escalating my case?
To escalate a case, please call the SOCVue Team and ask to speak to the Shift Supervisor. Have your
incident number available to help us quickly identify the case owner and any actions that have been
taken to date. Please advise the Shift Supervisor of the reason for the escalation request including
what actions you would like the SOCVue Team to take, the business impact of the open issue, and any
production dates or deadlines that may be adversely affected if the case is not promptly addressed.
The Shift Supervisor will assess the situation and determine if the needed actions are in the scope for
him/her to perform, for example, the arrangement for a SOCVue Analyst callback or engaging with the
Development Team. If the required actions are out of scope for the Shift Supervisor to perform, the Shift
Supervisor will engage with a Senior Manager to progress the escalation.
The Shift Supervisor will also alert your Service Delivery Manager of the escalation. Your Service
Delivery Manager will act as the primary contact point once the escalation is raised to ensure that you
receive the assistance you require.
Escalation Team key roles and responsibilities
The Escalation Team includes the following technical and management staff:
Shift Supervisor • Entry point to the escalation process. • Responsible for ascertaining the business impact of the case escalation request, based on the information
you provide. • Acts on the case escalation request. • If sustained management involvement is needed, assigns the escalated case to a Senior Manager .
Page 11
Service Delivery Manager
• Develops and documents the technical action plan. • Identifies need for additional technical assistance. • Monitors technical progress for the escalation and provides regular updates to the Escalation Team. • Delivers patches, workarounds, or communicates other resolutions. • Provides specialized technical expertise. • Coordinates to obtain product engineering modifications, if applicable.
Senior Manager
• Your primary advocate during the escalation process. • Communicates the overall action plan to you. • Focuses on customer satisfaction. • Leads the Escalation Team, which may be comprised of Sales, Engineering, Professional Services, Support,
Development, and/or Product Management Team members, for example. • Recruits additional resources, as needed. • Obtains your approval for the action plan. • Works to ensure that all parties are informed throughout the escalation.
What can I expect during an escalation?
You and your assigned escalation point of contact will collaborate and develop a communication
plan. Where applicable, we will work to develop a technical plan of action with you to address the
key technical issues. The escalation point of contact will update internal stakeholders, including your
Account Team and EiQ Executives, on the status and progress of your case. Your escalation point of
contact serves as your primary advocate within EiQ and will become an essential key member of your
problem resolution team.
What criteria is used for closing my escalation?
An escalation will be considered closed if it meets one or more of the following requirements:
1.The plan of action has been completed. 2.The initially agreed upon objectives have been achieved. 3.A reasonable period has elapsed without problem recurrence. 4.The escalation has been reviewed and an agreement has been reached to downgrade the case severity level. 5.You have agreed that the issue is addressed. 6.EiQ has determined that the issue cannot or will not be resolved and this has been communicated to all parties.

Academic Affairs Report
The summer semester started on May 16, 2016. The College has transitioned from a threesession summer semester (6/6/12 week schedule) to a two-session summer semester (6/12 week
schedule). As a result, all full-time faculty will be teaching during the single six-week session,
which has resulted in the development of a robust six-week summer course schedule.
Arts & Sciences
Lead faculty members from all disciplines met to improve curriculum as part of the Exceptional
Teaching grant this month. It was the first of three meetings that will take place to discuss and
share new ideas for showing individual student growth and improving general student retention.
As part of a culminating final project, Professor Ann Labriola
took her Art Appreciation class on an art-themed field trip to
Miami. Students received tours at the Perez Art Museum Miami
and the Rubell Family Collection Art Museum. They were also
treated to a private viewing of a professional artist’s studio by a
former local artist, Ana Maria. Professor Labriola’s students were
assigned to attend the FKCC Student Art Show. As part of the
assignment, students took pictures of artwork and posted them on
social media to show their personal artistic journeys. This activity
served to encourage students to view the art with a critical eye
and also to share their new-found passion for art with others in
the community.
The Beginning Poetry Writing class, under the
leadership of Professor Hilary Parmentier, hosted
the 9th Annual Poetry Reading in the Learning
Resource Center. More than 20 students, faculty
and staff read original and classic poetry to a
“packed house”. The students also rounded out
their poetry course by creating their own edition of
an annual poetry class book to showcase some of
the wonderful writing they produced this year.
Professor Bill Irwin conducted a seminar on bees for the Key West Garden Club. A one-hour
lecture was followed by a one-hour question/answer session. The event was well attended, with
standing room only. At the conclusion of the event, one attendee remarked, “If this is what
college is like, then I am going back to college.” An article covering the seminar also appeared
in the Key West Citizen.
Sponsored Programs
2015-16 Awarded Funds
In the last year, the Florida Department of Education awarded FKCC and the Monroe County
School District with a $25,000 award to implement the Florida Integrated Career and Academic
Preparation System. These funds will support projects such as career technical education
enhancements, general education initiatives, marine science research, a partnership between the
Monroe County Sheriff’s Department to train low-risk inmates, and the development of
computer networking courses. In addition, multi-year grants such as the U.S. Department of
Education Title III continue to make a significant impact at FKCC.

Definitio
ons and Expllanations:
Eligible students with disabilities will be defined in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For the purpose of
this procedure, the following definitions shall apply, based on SBE Rule 6A-10.041:
Hearing Impairment — A hearing loss of thirty (30) decibels or greater, pure tone average of
500, 1000, 2000 Hz, ANSI, unaided, in the better ear. Examples include, but are not limited to,
conductive hearing impairment or deafness, sensor neural hearing impairment or deafness, high
or low tone hearing loss or deafness, acoustic trauma hearing loss or deafness.
Visual Impairment — Disorders in the structure and function of the eye as manifested by at least
one of the following: visual acuity of 20/70 or less in the better eye after the best possible
correction, a peripheral field so constricted that it affects one’s ability to function in an
educational setting, or a progressive loss of vision which may affect one’s ability to function in
an educational setting. Examples include, but are not limited to, cataracts, glaucoma, nystagmus,
retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and strabismus.
Specific Learning Disability— A disorder in one or more of the basic psychological or
neurological processes involved in understanding or in using spoken or written language.
Disorders may be manifested in listening, thinking, reading, writing, spelling, or performing
arithmetic calculations. Examples include dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, and other
specific learning disabilities in the basic psychological or neurological process. Such disorders
do not include learning problems, which are due primarily to visual, hearing, or motor handicaps,
to mental retardation, to emotional disturbances, or to an environmental deprivation.
Orthopedic/Physical Impairment — A disorder of the musculoskeletal, connective tissue
disorders, and neuromuscular system. Examples include, but are not limited to, cerebral palsy,
absence of some body member, clubfoot, nerve damage to the hand and arm, cardiovascular
aneurysm (CVA), head injury and spinal cord injury, arthritis and rheumatism, epilepsy,
intracranial hemorrhage, embolism, thrombosis (stroke), poliomyelitis, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson’s disease, congenital malformation of brain cellular tissue, and physical disorders
pertaining to muscles and nerves, usually as a result of disease or birth defect, including, but not
limited to, muscular dystrophy and congenital muscle disorders.
Speech/Language Impairment — Disorders of language, articulation, fluency, or voice which
interfere with communication, pre-academic or academic learning, vocational training, or social
adjustment. Examples include, but are not limited to, cleft lip and/or palate with speech
impairment, stammering, stuttering, laryngectomy, and aphasia.
Emotional or Behavioral Disability — Any mental or psychological disorder including, but not
limited to, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, or attention deficit disorders.
Autism Spectrum Disorder — Disorders characterized by an uneven developmental profile and a
pattern of qualitative impairments in social interaction, communication, and the presence of
restricted repetitive, and/or stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. These
characteristics may manifest in a variety of combinations and range from mild to severe.
Traumatic Brain Injury — An injury to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature but
caused by an external force, that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness,
which results in impairment of cognitive ability and/or physical functioning.
Other — Any disability not identified in paragraphs (1)(a) through (h)- of Rule 6A-10.041,
except those students who have been documented as having an intellectual disability, deemed by
a disability professional to make completion of the requirement impossible.
Procedure:
The Provost is designated as the person to make the determination of substitute admission and
graduation requirements. In determining whether to grant a substitution, documentation to
substantiate that the disability can be reasonably expected to prevent the individual from meeting
requirements for admission to the institution, admission to program of study, or graduation shall
be provided by the student as requested by the College.
As required by rule 6A-10.041, the College shall provide the following mechanisms for the
implementation of Chapter 86-194, Laws of Florida:
I. A mechanism to identify persons eligible for reasonable substitutions due to vision
impairment, hearing impairment, or specific learning disability.
A. Persons eligible for substitutions will be made known to the college through a process of selfidentification. The college catalog informs persons with disabilities of the availability of
substitutions and directs contact to the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services who will review
documentation to determine eligibility.
II. A mechanism for identifying reasonable substitutions for criteria for admission to the
institution, admission to a program of study, or graduation related to each disability.
A. Reasonable substitution for criteria for admission to the institution.
No substitution policy is necessary regarding admission to FKCC due to an open door and equal
opportunity admission policy. Each identified student with a disability is referred to the
Coordinator of Disabled Student Services for accommodations consultation and to an academic
advisor for appropriate academic advising.
All incoming students must take a placement test. Scores for any of these tests are valid for only
two years from the date the test was last taken. Students may request accommodations for the
SAT or ACT through the agencies that govern those tests. The results of the placement test will
help determine the courses for which a student may register. For tests administered by the
College, students who require other accommodations or test administration modification must
request and make those arrangements with the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services prior to
taking the tests.
B. Reasonable substitution for criteria for admission to a program of study.
1. The student shall present appropriate documentation of disability to the Coordinator of
Disabled Student Services.
2. The Coordinator of Disabled Student Services, or designee, shall convene a Substitution
Review Committee to meet within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of the student’s request.
3. Substitution Review Committee recommends reasonable substitution(s) for criteria for
admission to a program of study to the Provost within five (5) days of meeting.
4. The Provost shall approve or deny the recommendation for substitution of admission
requirements within five (5) days of receiving recommendation.
5. The Coordinator of Disabled Student Services notifies the student within five (5) days of
receiving the Provost’s determination
6. If the request is denied, the student may file an appeal within ten (10) days of receiving the
determination to the Dean of Student Affairs.
C. Reasonable substitutions for criteria for graduation.
1. The student shall present appropriate documentation of disability to the Coordinator of
Disabled Student Services.
2. The Coordinator of Disabled Student Services, or designee, shall convene a Graduation
Review Committee to meet within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of the student’s request.
3. Graduation Review Committee recommends reasonable substitution(s) for criteria for
graduation from the institution to the Provost within five (5) days of meeting.
4. The Provost shall approve or deny the recommendation for substitution of graduation
requirements within five (5) days of receiving recommendation.
5. The Coordinator of Disabled Student Services notifies the student within five (5) days of
receiving the Provost’s determination
6. If the request is denied, the student may file an appeal within ten (10) days of receiving the
determination to the Dean of Student Affairs.
III. A mechanism for making the designated substitutions known to affected persons.
A. A statement regarding these procedures and other services for students with disabilities shall
be placed in the college catalog and other college publications.
IV. A mechanism for making substitution decisions on an individual basis.
A. Procedures outlined in section (II), A, B, and C, allow for student requests for substitution of
admissions, program, and graduation requirements to be considered on an individual basis that
guarantees the student’s rights are not denied.

FKCC AUP/LOCAL AUTHORITY
The information contained in this section has its basis in Public Law 93.380. It is further
enhanced however, by Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rule 6A-14.51 and
Florida Keys Community College Board of Trustees Rule 7.600. Copies of these rules are
maintained on the college’s website.
FKCC Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Introduction
FKCC is at all times committed to complying with the laws and regulations governing use of the
Internet, e-mail transmission and text messaging and preserving for all of its Constituents the
ability to use FKCC’s network and the Internet without interference or harassment from other
users. The FKCC Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) is designed to help achieve these goals.
By using IP Service(s), as defined below, Constituent(s) agrees to comply with this AUP and to
remain responsible for its uses. FKCC reserves the right to change or modify the terms of the
AUP at any time, effective when posted on FKCC’s web site. Constituent’s use of the IP
Service(s) after changes to the AUP are posted shall constitute acceptance of any changed or
additional terms.
Scope of the AUP
The AUP applies to the FKCC services that provide (or include) access to the Internet, including
hosting services (software applications and hardware), or are provided over the Internet or
wireless data networks (collectively “IP Services”).
Prohibited Activities
General Prohibitions: FKCC prohibits use of the IP Services in any way that is unlawful, harmful
to or interferes with use of FKCC’s network or systems, or the network of any other provider,
interferes with the use or enjoyment of services received by others, infringes intellectual property
rights, results in the publication of threatening or offensive material, or constitutes Spam/Email/Usenet abuse, a security risk or a violation of privacy.
Failure to adhere to the rules, guidelines or agreements applicable to search engines, subscription
Web services, chat areas, bulletin boards, Web pages, USENET, applications, or other services
that are accessed via a link from the FKCC-branded website or from a website that contains
FKCC-branded content is a violation of this AUP.
Unlawful Activities: IP Services shall not be used in connection with any criminal, civil or
administrative violation of any applicable local, state, provincial, federal, national or
international law, treaty, court order, ordinance, regulation, or administrative rule.
Violation of Intellectual Property Rights: IP Service(s) shall not be used to publish,
submit/receive upload/download, post, use, copy or otherwise reproduce, transmit, re-
transmit, distribute or store any content/material or to engage in any activity that
infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights or privacy
or publicity rights of FKCC or any individual, group or entity, including but not limited
to any rights protected by any copyright, patent, trademark laws, trade secret, trade dress,
right of privacy, right of publicity, moral rights or other intellectual property right now
known or later recognized by statute, judicial decision or regulation.
Threatening Material or Content: IP Services shall not be used to host, post, transmit,
or re-transmit any content or material (or to create a domain name or operate from a
domain name), that harasses, or threatens the health or safety of others. In addition, for
those IP Services that utilize FKCC provided web hosting, FKCC reserves the right to
decline to provide such services if the content is determined by FKCC to be obscene,
indecent, hateful, malicious, racist, defamatory, fraudulent, libelous, treasonous,
excessively violent or promoting the use of violence or otherwise harmful to others.
Inappropriate Interaction with Minors: FKCC complies with all applicable laws
pertaining to the protection of minors, including when appropriate, reporting cases of
child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. For more
information about online safety, visit www.ncmec.org.
Child Pornography: IP Services shall not be used to publish, submit/receive,
upload/download, post, use, copy or otherwise produce, transmit, distribute or store child
pornography. Suspected violations of this prohibition may be reported to the FKCC IT
Help Desk at the following e-mail address [email protected] . FKCC will report any
discovered violation of this prohibition to the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children and take steps to remove child pornography (or otherwise block access to the
content determined to contain child pornography) from its servers.
Spam/E-mail/Usenet Abuse: Violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, or any other
applicable law regulating e-mail services, constitutes a violation of this AUP.
Spam/E-mail or Usenet abuse is prohibited using IP Services. Examples of Spam/E-mail


sending electronic messages that do not accurately identify the sender, the sender’s

software program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP or the AUP
of any other Internet Service Provider, including, but not limited to, the facilitation of
the means to spam.
SECURITY VIOLATIONS
Constituents are responsible for ensuring and maintaining security of their systems and the
machines that connect to and use IP Service(s), including implementation of necessary patches
and operating system updates.
IP Services may not be used to interfere with, gain unauthorized access to, or otherwise violate

aimed at the unauthorized interception of data or harvesting of e-mail addresses;

hacking, attacking, gaining access to, breaching, circumventing or testing the vulnerability of
the user authentication or security of any host, network, server, personal computer, network
access and control devices, software or data without express authorization of the owner of the
system or network;

impersonating others or secretly or deceptively obtaining personal information of third
parties (phishing, etc.);

using any program, file, script, command or transmission of any message or content of any
kind, designed to interfere with a terminal session, the access to or use of the Internet or any
other means of communication;

Constituents remain solely and fully responsible for the content of any material posted, hosted,
downloaded/uploaded, created, accessed or transmitted using the IP Services. FKCC has no
responsibility for any material created on FKCC’s network or accessible using IP Services,
including content provided on third-party websites linked to the FKCC network. Such third-party
website links are provided as Internet navigation tools for informational purposes only, and do
not constitute in any way an endorsement by FKCC of the content(s) of such sites.
Constituents are responsible for taking prompt corrective action(s) to remedy a violation of AUP
and to help prevent similar future violations.

actions spanning a warning to a suspension or termination of Constituent’s IP Services. When
feasible, FKCC may provide Constituent with a notice of an AUP violation via e-mail or
otherwise allowing the Constituent to promptly correct such violation.
FKCC reserves the right, however, to act immediately and without notice to suspend or terminate

B.
College employees or students who receive complaints or observe harassing behavior
should immediately contact the Director of Human Resources/Equity Coordinator. As an
alternate point of contact, the Provost may be contacted.
C.
Informal complaint procedures allow for complaints to be resolved by mutual agreement
between the complaint and the person accused of the harassment. Informal complaints,
whether oral or in writing, should be directed to the Director of Human Resources/Equity
Coordinator or the Provost, as an alternate point of contact. The accused will be
informed about the nature of the informal complaint and will have an opportunity to
respond.
D.
If informal resolution fails to resolve the matter to the complainant’s satisfaction, the
complainant may file a formal complaint, with the Director of Human Resources/Equity
Coordinator with the Provost as an alternate point of contact. Formal complaint must be
documented in writing within twenty (20) calendar days of the incident or event giving
rise to the complaint.
E.
The Director of Human Resources/Equity Coordinator will conduct a prompt, thorough
and impartial investigation within twenty (20) business days of receiving the complaint.
Accounts from witnesses and other parties, as well as other relevant information, may be
investigated. The Director of Human Resources/Equity Coordinator has the discretion to
determine whether the situation warrants a meeting, either with the complainant and the
alleged offender both present or with the parties separately.
F.
An investigation results in three possible scenarios: 1) the allegations are substantiated, 2)
the allegations are not substantiated or 3) the investigation was inconclusive. Every
claim of harassment will be considered on an individual basis. If the allegations are
substantiated, the College will take immediate and corrective action and appropriate to
the severity of the offense. Disciplinary measures applied include the full range of the
College’s disciplinary measures, up to and including termination.
The Investigator will make a final report of findings to both the accuser and the accused
within 15 business days of the formal complaint. If the process requires further
investigation, a written notice will be sent to the accuser and accused within fifteen (15)
business days of the complaint notifying both parties of an extension of up to five (5)
additional business days.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The College will protect the confidentiality of information as it pertains to the complainant,
respondent and potential witnesses to the fullest extent possible and appropriate under the law.
Only those individuals necessary for the investigation and resolution of the complaint will be
privy to information.

HIV/AID
DS POLICY
Y
It is the position of Florida Keys Community College that a balance be maintained between the
rights of persons infected with the Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) to obtain education
and employment and the rights of students and community college employees to an environment
which provides reasonable protection from infection with HIV. Florida Keys Community
College establishes this policy to respond appropriately to the needs and right of students and
employees who are HIV-positive. This policy defines an HIV-positive student or employee as an
individual who:
(a)
is diagnosed as having Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
(b)
is determined to be HIV Antibody-Positive but has not yet developed the
symptoms of AIDS or
(c)
is determined to have HIV-positive (HIV positive) Spectrum diseases.
The college provides HIV-positive students and employees with reasonable accommodations and
support services, while protecting rights to privacy and confidentiality. This policy prohibits
mandatory HIV testing of employees and students. All decisions regarding treatment of students
or employees are made on an individual basis. The college will continue to monitor and amend
this policy as needed (Board Rule 4.410).
LEGAL BACKGROUND
This policy complies with all state and federal laws protecting persons with disabilities. The
Americans with Disabilities Act and the Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibit
discrimination against qualified disabled individuals by institutions contracted with the federal
government. The college receives federal funds; therefore, the college must comply with the
provisions of the Rehabilitation Act. Under the Rehabilitation Act a college may not discriminate
against any employee or student who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially
limits one or more major life activities, who has a record of such impairment, or who is regarded
as having such impairment. These disability discrimination laws are intended to eliminate
situations in which an individual who is qualified to perform the essential functions of a job
would be denied an opportunity to fill the job or is treated adversely simply because the
individual has a disability.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) assures that the rights of children and
youth with disabilities and their parents/guardians are protected in terms of fairness,
appropriateness, and due process in decision making about the provision of special education and
related services. The Florida Educational Equity Act also prohibits discrimination on the basis of
disability against any student or employee in the state system of public education. Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act protects the civil rights of individuals with disabilities. In a Florida case,
Arline v. School Board of Nassau County, the Eleventh Circuit of the United States affirmed,
that the language of the Rehabilitation Act in every respect supports a conclusion that persons
with contagious diseases are within the coverage of the Rehabilitation Act. Although the plaintiff
in Arline had tuberculosis, the decision may apply to any contagious disease which “substantially
limits major life activity.” The court in Arline also stated that an employer may not arbitrarily
determine that an individual’s disability prevents the individual from performing required duties.
The employer must make a well informed judgment grounded in careful and open minded
weighing of the risks and alternatives. (Arline, 772 F.23 765 and 107 s. Ct. 1123)
The limitations on “reasonable accommodation” for an “otherwise qualified” disabled person in
accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a central issue in these cases. Citing its
earlier opinion in Southeastern Community College v. Davis, 442 U.S. 397 (1979), the Court
said: An otherwise qualified person is one who is able to meet all of a program’s requirements in
spite of his handicap. In the employment context, an otherwise qualified person is one who can
perform “the essential functions” of the job in question. When a handicapped person is not able
to perform the essential functions of the job, the court must also consider whether any
“reasonable accommodation” by the employer would enable the handicapped person to perform
those functions. Accommodation is not reasonable if it either imposes “undue financial and
administrative burdens” on a grantee, or requires a “fundamental alteration in the nature of (the)
program.
Arline, 107 S. Ct. at 1131 n.17 (Citations omitted).
HIV constitutes a disability. Under State Law; Chapter 760 of the Florida Statutes, it prohibits
employment discrimination against disabled individuals by employers with more than fifteen
employees. Colleges should not “discharge or fail to hire or otherwise discriminate with respect
to compensation, conditions, or privileges of employment” because the individual is disabled,
(760.10(1) (a), Florida Statutes). In addition, colleges should not segregate or classify a disabled
individual in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment
opportunities. Furthermore, it is unlawful to adversely affect any individual’s status as an
employee because of a handicap, (760.10(1)(b), Florida Statutes). A disable person should not be
isolated by the college unless the individual poses a scientifically proven risk to co-workers or
students. The language of Chapter 760 protects disabled employees and, therefore, HIV positive
individuals from arbitrary dismissal, discrimination in hiring, promotion, and compensation
decisions, and any other actions as employer may take that adversely affects the employee’s
status.
PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Florida Keys Community College recognizes and respects that any HIV-positive student or
employee has a right to privacy and confidentiality. When college employees or students have
knowledge (or are informed) that an employee or student may or may not be HIV-positive, that
employee or student is not to share the information with a third party. No information regarding
the medical status of any student will be released without the expressed written consent of the
student unless such disclosure of information in health and safety emergencies is mandated by
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. 1232g and Florida Statute
Section 1006.68. No information regarding the medical status of any employee will be released
without the expressed written consent of the employee unless such disclosure of information in
health and safety emergencies is mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction.
GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS
This policy allows for an HIV-positive student who poses no threat to others or self, to remain in
the regular classroom. HIV-positive students with mental, emotional, or physical disabling
conditions will be provided with reasonable accommodations.
DISABLED AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES AND REFERRAL
The Coordinator of Students with Disabilities and the Equity Coordinator shall provide support
services to HIV-positive students and employees. Referral to the local health care network is

evaluations by employers.
4. PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ACCESS
Requests to examine the student’s educational file maintained at the college will be

representative. This college official will not permit removal of material from the file. Student
requests for copies of the material will, however, be honored subject to the provisions of Section
7 below.
5. STUDENT RIGHTS OF CHALLENGE
A student has the right to challenge the content of education records to insure that the
record is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of privacy or other rights and to be
given an opportunity for the correction or deletion of any such data or to insert into the records a
written explanation concerning the content of the records.
MAKE INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION OF SELECTED RECORDS
The college reserves the right for college officials and instructors to use information from student
records internally for legitimate educational purposes.
PERMIT ACCESS BY THIRD PARTIES
The college may provide information to other educational institutions upon the written
request/consent of the student, and subject to the opportunity for a hearing by the student to
challenge the content of records being transferred. A copy of this material will be furnished the
student upon written request and at student expense for the reproduction. By law, educational
records are open for legitimate use to specified officials of the federal government and of the
State Government where the desired information is specifically required to be reported or
disclosed pursuant to State Statute. Student information may also be available on proper
identification and authorization to organizations conducting studies for educational institutions
for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests, administering student
aid programs, and improving instruction, providing the information will be destroyed when no
longer needed. Student data will be made available to accrediting organizations in carrying out
their accrediting functions. The college is also required to make information available in
compliance with judicial order or pursuant to any lawfully issued subpoenas in advance of
compliance by the college.
RETIRE UNNEEDED RECORDS
The college reserves the right for its officials to consolidate student records and to destroy
records in conformance with the Florida Public Records Act when no longer needed for
educational purposes or when retention is not required by law or regulation of state or federal
agencies. In this connection, the college is obliged to maintain a permanent record of transcript
information. No record will be destroyed during any pending request for explanation or for
challenging or hearing, or for 60 days after completion of such action.
RIGHT OF HEARING
Every effort will be made to resolve disagreements on content though informal meetings and
discussions. In the event informal methods do not resolve a problem, a student is entitled to an
opportunity for a formal hearing. This hearing will be scheduled within ten days of written
request by either the college or the student and shall be conducted by an impartial committee
appointed by the President in each instance. The student shall be afforded a full and fair
opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised. A written summary of the issue and
appropriate recommendation shall be forwarded to the President within five days following the
termination of the hearing. The President shall render a written decision within ten days after
receiving the recommendation of the committee. Records will then be corrected or expunged as
the President directs and the student informed accordingly. A copy of the committee report and
of action by the President will be placed in the student’s file.

subject to challenge except the basis in which instructor grades were awarded. However,
improper recording of grades is subject to challenge.

A student may request release of all or any part of his education records to specific
persons, agencies, or institutions. Request will be in writing, be signed and dated by the student,
and shall include specific identification of the records to be released, and the names of the parties
to whom such records will be released. A copy of the records released, in accordance with such a
request, shall be provided the student if desired. All reproduction and mailing expenses involved
in this provision will be met by the student.
7. RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE COLLEGE
The Act provides that the college may retain certain rights. The college thus retains the
right to:
RELEASE DIRECTORY INFORMATION
Directory information is defined as the name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth,
major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height
of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most
recent educational institution attended by the student. In the absence of written notice, each term,
by a student to withhold any or all information included in the definition of “directory
information,” the college reserves the right to release any of this information as it may consider
desirable. (See Section 8)
RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION IN EMERGENCY
The college reserves the right to release information from educational records if knowledge of
such information by other parties is necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or other
persons. This information will be released only in emergency and after consideration by college
officials of the seriousness of the emergency, the need of the information by third parties to deal
with the emergency and the extent to which time is of the essence.
CHARGE FOR THE COST OF REPRODUCTION
Copies of records requested by a student in compliance with his/her right to such records will be
charged at the rate prevailing at the time of the student requests.
8. RELEASE OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION
The college will continue to use and release statistical data where individual students are
not personally identifiable. The college shall not permit access to or release of personally
identifiable information on students except in response to the specific written request by the
student, or as reserved to college discretion as indicated in the sections above. In accordance
with law, any information released to the student or to a party other than the student – with the
exception of Section 7 -- will be accompanied by a written statement that the party receiving the
material is prohibited from further release to any other party without the written consent of the
student. In accordance with Section 7, a student may request, in writing, that any or all directory
information be withheld from release. This request will be submitted on the registration form
available in the Enrollment Services Office student admission/registration area. Notice is also

II. PENALTIES - SEXUAL ASSAULT
A. STATE OF FLORIDA
The commission of sexual battery is considered a felony under most
circumstances in the state of Florida. Felonies are classified, for the purpose of sentence
and for any other purpose specifically provided by statute, into the following categories
with the prescribed penalties:

Capital Felony - Penalty
Life imprisonment and must serve no less than 25 years before becoming eligible
for parole unless the proceeding held to determine sentence results in finding that
such person shall be punished by death.

Life Felony - Penalty
For a life felony committed on or after October 1, 1983, by a term of
imprisonment for life or by a term of imprisonment not exceeding 40 years;

Felony of the First Degree - Penalty
A term of imprisonment not exceeding 30 years or, when specifically provided by
statue, by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life imprisonment.

Felony of the Second Degree - Penalty
A term of imprisonment not exceeding 15 years.

Felony of the Third Degree - Penalty
A term of imprisonment not exceeding 5 (five) years.
Whether a person is charged and/or convicted of a particular felony in the state of Florida
will depend on certain acts or circumstances existing during the commission of the sexual
assault, e.g. the age of the victim; the use of threat of a deadly weapon or the use of actual
physical force likely to cause serious personal injury; use of drugs or intoxicating
substances to incapacitate the victim, mentally or physically; the number of perpetrators
involved in the crime; if the offender is an habitual felony offender, etc.
B. FLORIDA KEYS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Violation of this policy, or conviction for the violation of any statute occurring on
FKCC owned or leased premises, shall, in addition to any criminal penalties; result in the
following penalties imposed by FKCC.
1.
STUDENTS
The right of due process is assured all students by College Rules and
Procedures. At Florida Keys Community College, a Student Conduct
Administrator is responsible for addressing student cases involving disciplinary
actions or student complaints. Cases of misconduct of a serious nature, such as
violation of board rules or state laws, may result in suspension or expulsion and
are therefore typically referred directly to the Associate Dean of Enrollment
Mangagement. The Student Conduct Administrator and/or Associate Dean of
Enrollment Management adhere to the Code of Conduct Violations Procedures.
Any convictions for a felony involving sexual battery will result in expulsion
from FKCC.
2.
EMPLOYEES
The college seeks to resolve conduct and performance problems in the
most positive manner possible. Under those circumstances when disciplinary
action, including termination, becomes a necessary means of modifying
undesirable situations, the college has established disciplinary policies and
procedures.
3.
VISITORS
For a violation of the college policy, or conviction of any criminal statute
as above, a visitor, whether invited or uninvited, shall be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including being permanently banned from college premises and
activities and may be reported to law enforcement authorities, as determined by
the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management. Florida Keys Community
College reserves the right to discipline students for acts of sexual misconduct
committed off campus.
III. VICTIM RIGHTS

The following victim rights have been established: The right of a victim to have a person of
their choice accompany her/him throughout the disciplinary hearing. This person will act as a
support person or counsel but will not represent the victim while he/ she appears as a witness.

The right of the victim to submit a list of questions related to the alleged incident, prior to the
hearing, that she/he feels the accused should be asked during the hearing process.

The right not to have her/his irrelevant past conduct, including sexual history, discussed
during the hearing process.

Additionally, no person will print, publish or broadcast or cause or allow to be printed
published or broadcast, in any instrument of mass communication, the name, address or other
identifying fact or information of the victim of any sexual offense.

The Associate Dean of Enrollment Management will coordinate victim assistance for victims
and their families. Such assistance may include services provided by external sources that
may be more qualified to assist victims.
IV. AWARENESS EDUCATION
The Associate Dean of Enrollment Management will be responsible for developing and
implementing an educational program to assure campus awareness of the problems and the needs
and rights of victims. This sexual assault policy and procedure will be included in the Student
Handbook (Code of Student Conduct) which will be discussed at orientation and disseminated
during registration. Additionally, the student newsletter “VOICES” will periodically publish this
rule.
V. RESPONSES TO REPORTS OF SEXUAL BATTERY
Generally, the Office of the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management will be the first
department contacted after an incident occurs at a campus. A local law enforcement agency will
be notified and the incident will be referred to the agency.
The following reporting guidelines are developed for members of the campus community:

If an incident is reported, recognize that the individual might be struggling with painful
feelings -- denial, fear, embarrassment, or rage-- when seeking assistance. To build trust
and to assist the individual in getting further help, validate the courage she/he has shown
in talking to you and assure her/him that she/he need not be alone in her/his struggle with
this issue. Keep in mind that while no one invites sexual assault, many people may feel
that it was the victim’s fault. Be careful not to suggest that the individual is at fault (by
asking, for example, “What were you doing out so late?”). This may contribute to
feelings of guilt and impede the healing process.

Urge the individual to seek assistance from campus support services. Offer to accompany
the individual to the Office of the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management.

If the individual is considering reporting the assault to the police, let her/him know that it
is crucial that medical evidence be collected as soon as possible.

Report the incident to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management. Inform the
individual that you must do this. If the individual wishes to remain anonymous, you can
report the incident to the Dean of Student Affairs without identifying her/him.

To protect the individual’s privacy, discuss the incident only with the Associate Dean of
Enrollment Management.

III: PROSCRIBED CONDUCT
a) Jurisdiction of the College Student Code of Conduct
The College Student Code of Conduct is in effect on College premises, on property owned by
Florida Keys Community College and at functions sponsored by or participated in by the College
regardless of the locations.
If a student is formally charged with a felony, or with a delinquent act which would be a felony if
committed by an adult, for an incident which allegedly occurred on property other than College
premises, or a function sponsored by or participated in by the College regardless of location, and
if that incident is determined to have an adverse impact on the educational program, discipline,
or safety and welfare of the College, then the College has the right to suspend the student
pending final adjudication of the criminal charge. If the student is adjudicated guilty, then the
student may be recommended for expulsion through the normal expulsion procedure. With this
exception, the College will not ordinarily impose sanctions on a student who is subject to
criminal prosecution for off-campus activity.
Each student shall be responsible for his/her conduct from the time of application for admission
through the actual awarding of a degree, even though conduct may occur before classes begin or
after classes end for the term, as well as during the academic year and during periods between
terms of actual enrollment. The Student Code of Conduct shall apply to a student’s conduct even
if the student withdraws from school while a disciplinary matter is pending.
b) Infractions / Misconduct

is subject to the disciplinary sanctions outlined in Section IV:

the College grounds at a College activity, function or event. Also, a student shall not possess,
have under his/her control, sell or deliver any device, or contrivance, instrument or paraphernalia
containing the substance or substances described in this paragraph or any residue of such
substance or devices intended for use or used in injecting, inhaling/inhalant/huffing, smoking,
administering, or using any of the foregoing prescribed drugs, narcotics, or stimulants. Use of a
drug authorized by a medical prescription from a registered physician for a specific student shall
not be considered a violation of this rule.
Academic Integrity Violation: Violations of the Academic Integrity Policy are handled at the
faculty member’s discretion. All faculty members state their academic integrity policy on their

of the Student Code of Conduct.

given; giving answers or other such information after taking an exam to another student who has
not yet taken the exam; giving or selling a term paper or other written materials to another
student.

paraphrasing or abbreviated restatement of someone else’s idea(s) without acknowledging the
author or source; the use of false citations or citing a source from which an idea has not been
obtained; or submitting false or altered data in a laboratory. Plagiarism also occurs in a group
project if a member of the group does not do his or her fair share of the group’s work but
attempts to take credit for the work of the group. Because electronic information is so easily
reproduced, respect for the work and personal expression of others is critical in computer
environments. Violations, including plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized access, and
copyright violations are grounds for disciplinary proceedings.

College and appropriate action with be taken.
IV: STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATIONS PROCEDURES
a) Charges and Student Conduct Hearing Procedures
Any member of the College community may file charges against a student for alleged violations
of the Code of Student Conduct. The Associate Dean of Enrollment Management and/or Equity
Coordinator shall decide whether to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine if the
alleged complaint has merit and charges should be brought against the student. The Associate
Dean of Enrollment Management and/or Equity Coordinator may choose to act as or designate a
Student Conduct Administrator (SCA), to conduct the preliminary investigation.
The Associate Dean of Enrollment Management and/or Equity Coordinator may also commence
disciplinary proceedings absent a complaint when a College policy violation has been reported.
1. Notice. If the SCA determines that the alleged complaint has merit, then all charges,
including the specific infractions and/or misconduct alleged, shall be presented to the
Accused Student in written form as soon as possible after the College’s preliminary
review of the event takes place, normally within five (5) work days. The College shall
either hand-deliver, email, or mail the notice to the student’s official address on file with
the College.
2. Administrative Conference. If deemed appropriate by the SCA, he or she may first
attempt to resolve the Student Code of Conduct infractions and/or misconduct by holding
an Administrative Conference wherein mediation and/or conflict resolution may be used
to arrive at mutual consent of the parties involved. Both the Accused and Complainant
must participate in the conference. If the outcome of the Administrative Conference is
acceptable to the SCA and both parties, then such disposition shall be communicated in
writing to all parties within a reasonable period of time (typically 5 working days) and
shall be final, and there shall be no subsequent proceedings. A copy of the documentation
detailing the outcome of this stage shall be provided to the Associate Dean of Enrollment
Management and/or Equity Coordinator.
If the charges are not admitted to and/or cannot be disposed of by an Administrative Conference,
then the SCA will hold a hearing as described below. If the student accepts responsibility for
violating the Code of Student Conduct during the Administrative Conference, but sanctions are
not agreed to, the subsequent process, including a hearing if necessary, shall be limited to
determining the appropriate sanction(s). A copy of the documentation detailing the outcome of
this stage shall be provided to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management and/or Equity
Coordinator.
3. Hearings. Hearings shall be conducted by the SCA according to the following
guidelines:
a. Hearings normally shall be conducted in private unless the Accused Student
requests that it be public and the Complainant and the Associate Dean of
Enrollment Management and/or Equity Coordinator agree.
b. If, in the opinion of the SCA, the infraction could reasonably result in either
suspension, expulsion or other serious sanction, the SCA may select, form, and
chair an Ad Hoc Student Conduct Committee – typically within 10 working days
of the complaint or infraction. The committee shall include up to a total of three
(3) representative College community members (employees and students). The
role of the committee members is to act in an advisory capacity to the SCA who
has sole responsibility and authority to determine whether or not the student is
responsible for violation of the Student Code of Conduct and to assign the
appropriate sanctions for those found responsible for violating the Student Code
of Conduct. Committee members do not vote.
c. The Complainant, Accused Student and their advisors, if any, shall be allowed to
attend the entire portion of the hearing at which information is received.
Admission of any other person to the hearing shall be at the discretion of the
SCA.
d. In hearings involving more than one Accused Student, the SCA, at his or her
discretion, may permit the hearings concerning each student to be conducted
either separately or jointly.
e. The Complainant and the Accused Student have the right to be assisted by an
advisor they choose, at their own expense. In order to maintain the educational
nature of the hearing, the advisor must be a member of the College community
and may not be an attorney. The Complainant and/or the Accused Student is
responsible for presenting his or her own information, and therefore, advisors are
not permitted to speak or to participate directly in any hearing before a SCA. A
student should select as an advisor a person whose schedule allows attendance at
the scheduled date and time for the hearing because delays will not normally be
allowed due to the scheduling conflicts of an advisor.
f. The Complainant, the Accused Student and the SCA may arrange for witnesses to
present pertinent information to the hearing. The College will try to arrange the
attendance of possible witnesses who are members of the College community, if
reasonably possible, and who are identified by the Complainant and/or Accused
Student at least three (3) work days prior to the hearing. Witnesses will provide
information to and answer questions from the SCA. Questions may be suggested
by the Accused Student and/or Complainant to be answered by each other or by
other witnesses. This will be conducted by the SCA with such questions directed
to the SCA, rather than to the witness directly. This method is used to preserve the
educational tone of the hearing and to avoid creation of an adversarial
environment. Questions of whether potential information will be received shall be
resolved at the discretion of the SCA.
g. The Complainant and Accused Student each have 20 minutes to present their
information; this time frame also includes witness presentations on their behalf.
h. Pertinent records, exhibits, and written statements may be accepted as information
for consideration by the SCA at his/her discretion.
i. All procedural questions are subject to the final decision of the SCA.
j. After the portion of the hearing concludes in which all pertinent information has
been received, the SCA shall determine whether the Accused Student is
responsible for or is not responsible for violating each section of the Student Code
which the student is charged with violating.
k. The SCA’s determination shall be made on the basis of whether it is more likely
than not that the Accused Student violated the Student Code of Conduct.
l. The SCA will notify the Accused Student in writing via College email and
mailing address on the student’s record within 5 working days of the
determination.
m. Formal rules of process, procedure, and/or technical rules of evidence, such as are
applied in criminal or civil court, are not used in Student Code of Conduct
proceedings.
The College will make a single verbatim record, such as a digital recording, of all hearings
before a SCA (not including deliberations). Deliberations shall not be recorded. The original
record shall be the property of the College. The Accused and Complainant may request and
receive a single copy. No participant in any hearing shall be permitted to make their own
separate recording.
If an Accused Student, with notice, does not appear before the SCA, the information in support
of the charges shall be presented and considered even if the Accused Student is not present.
The SCA may accommodate concerns for the personal safety, well-being, and/or fears of
confrontation of the Complainant, Accused Student, and/or other witness during the hearing by
providing separate facilities, by using a visual screen, and/or by permitting participation by
telephone, video conferencing, videotape, audio tape, written statement, or other means, where
and as determined in the sole judgment of Associate Dean of Enrollment Management or Equity
Officer to be appropriate.
b) Sanctions
The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the Student
Code of Conduct:

Reprimand

Restitution

Fines

Withholding of diplomas or transcripts pending compliance with rules

Restrictions on the use of or removal from campus facilities

Community Service

Educational requirements

Probation

Suspension

Expulsion

Revocation of Admission and/or Degree.
More than one of the sanctions listed above may be imposed for any single violation.
Other than College expulsion or revocation or withholding of a degree, disciplinary sanctions
shall not be made part of the student’s permanent academic record, but shall become part of the
student’s confidential record. After graduation, the student’s confidential record may be
expunged of disciplinary actions other than College suspension, College expulsion, or revocation
or withholding of a degree, upon application to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management.
Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than suspension or expulsion may be expunged
from the student’s confidential record three years after final disposition of the case or according
to state laws.
In situations involving both an Accused Student(s) (or group or organization) and a student(s)
claiming to be the victim of another student’s conduct, the records of the process and of the
sanctions imposed, if any, shall be considered to be the education records of both the Accused
Student(s) and the student(s) claiming to be the victim because the educational career and
chances of success in the academic community of each may be impacted.
The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups or organizations:

Reprimand

Restitution

Suspension, Cancellation, or Revocation of the registration or official recognition
of a student organization

Restrictions on the use of, or removal from, campus facilities.
In each case in which it is determined that a student and/or group or organization has
violated the Student Code, the sanction(s) shall be determined and imposed by the SCA. In cases
in which persons other than, or in addition to, the SCA have been authorized to hear the case,
any recommendations shall be considered by the SCA in determining and imposing sanctions.
The SCA is not limited to sanctions recommended by others authorized to hear the case.
Following the hearing, the SCA shall advise the Accused Student, group and/or organization
(and a complaining student who believes s/he was the victim of another student’s conduct) in
writing within 5 days of the determination and of the sanction(s) imposed, if any.
c) Temporary, Emergency Course Suspension
After preliminary investigation, if, in the opinion of both the SCA and the Associate Dean of
Enrollment Management, there is reasonable cause to believe that a student has committed an
infraction of the Student Code of Conduct, such that his or her attendance at one or more classes
would substantially impact the educational process, then, the SCA may place the student on
temporary suspension from one or more classes or transfer the student temporarily to a different
section of the course. The SCA shall notify the student in writing of the charge and investigation.
The student may not return to the course until approved to do so by the SCA. Every effort will be
made to investigate and resolve the complaint quickly.
The Student may be offered the option of voluntarily withdrawing from the class.
If as a result of the investigation, the SCA and the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management
do not approve the student to return to class, then the SCA shall file the appropriate charges for
violation of the Student Code of Conduct and all procedures for handling the violation of the
Student Code of Conduct will be followed as described herein. The student will not be permitted
to return to class until such time as the Student Conduct Hearing process is complete and as a
result of the outcome of the hearing the SCA grants permission for the student to return.
If as a result of the SCA’s sanction, the student is not permitted to return, then the Associate
Dean of Enrollment Management will withdraw the student from the specific class.
d) Emergency College Suspension
After preliminary investigation, if, in the opinion of the President, or his/her designee, there is
reasonable cause to believe that a student’s presence on campus may:
1. endanger the safety and well-being of members of the College community or
preservation of College property;
2. endanger the student’s own physical or emotional safety and well-being; or
3. cause an ongoing threat of disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations
of the College,
then the President, or his/her designee, may impose an Emergency College Suspension prior to a
hearing and during the investigation. (FKCC Board Policy 7.750)
During the emergency suspension, a student shall be denied access to the campus (including
classes) and/or all other College activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be
eligible, as the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management may determine to be appropriate.
The emergency suspension does not replace the regular process, which shall proceed on the
normal schedule, up to and through a hearing, if required.
e) Appeals
A decision reached by or a sanction imposed by the SCA may be appealed by the Accused
Student(s) or Complainant(s) to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management or Equity
Officer within five (5) work days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing and shall be
delivered to the Dean of Student Affairs.
A decision reached by or a sanction imposed by Associate Dean of Enrollment Management or
Equity Officer may be appealed by the Accused Student(s) or Complainant(s) to the Provost
within five (5) work days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing and shall be delivered
to the Provost.
Except as required to explain the basis of new information, an appeal shall be limited to a review
of the verbatim record of the hearing and supporting documents for one or more of the following
purposes:
1. To determine whether the hearing was conducted fairly in light of the charges and
information presented, and in conformity with prescribed procedures giving the
complaining party a reasonable opportunity to prepare and to present information that
the Student Code of Conduct was violated, and giving the Accused Student a
reasonable opportunity to prepare and to present a response to those allegations.
Deviations from designated procedures will not be a basis for sustaining an appeal
unless significant prejudice results.
2. To determine whether the decision reached regarding the Accused Student was based
on substantial information, that is, whether there were facts in the case that, if
believed by the fact finder, were sufficient to establish.
3. To determine whether the sanction(s) imposed were appropriate for the violation of
the Student Code of Conduct which the student was found to have committed.
4. To consider new information, sufficient to alter a decision, or other relevant facts not
brought out in the original hearing, because such information and/or facts were not
known to the person appealing at the time of the original hearing.
If an appeal is upheld by the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management, the matter shall be
returned to the original SCA for re-opening of the hearing to allow reconsideration of the
original determination and/or sanction(s). If an appeal is upheld by the Provost, the matter shall
be returned to the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management or Equity Officer for re-opening
of the hearing to allow reconsideration of the original determination and/or sanction(s).
If an appeal is not upheld by the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management /Equity
Officer/Provost, the matter shall be considered final and binding upon all involved with the
exception of the following:
A student who receives the sanction of College Suspension or Expulsion may appeal to the
President or President’s designee within five (5) work days of the date of the decision. The
written petition shall state the facts of the case, a summary of the evidence presented at the
hearing, the findings of the SCA or the Associate Dean of Enrollment Management, Equity
Officer and/or Provost, and the student’s reason for petitioning the President for review. The
President’s action will be limited to review of the basis for the Associate Dean of Enrollment
Management, Equity Officer’s, or SCA’s disposition and will not necessarily involve a de novo
factual investigation. Notwithstanding the above, the President may, but is not required to, direct
that further facts be gathered or that additional remedial action be taken. The President shall
notify the student of his or her decision typically within fifteen (15) work days of the receipt of
the petition of appeal. The decision of the President shall be final.
V: INTERPRETATION AND REVISION
a. Any question of interpretation or application of the Student Code shall be referred to the
Associate Dean of Enrollment Management for a final determination.

orward, the m
marketing dep
partment hass begun develloping a new brand for thee College to ggo along with
h the pendingg name changge—starting w
with the mostt central piecce: a new logo
o for the Colllege of the Flo
orida Keys. Th
hrough a crow
wdsourcing platform, the m
marketing deepartment wo
orked with multiple ggraphic design
ners from varrious location
ns across the gglobe. Thougghts, opinionss, and feelinggs were soliccited from a d
diverse pool o
of students, faaculty, staff, aand alumni. Their feedback was shared
d with the d
designers who
o honed theirr designs over the two weeek contest. U
Ultimately, on
ne design prevailed. Three versio
ons of that de
esign are bein
ng presented to students, faculty, stafff, and other sttake holders to poll preference. Additional branding elements are in development, allowing the College to begin rebranding work over the summer for public presentation in the fall. To support the marketing of the new Bachelors of Applied Science in Supervision and Management (BAS‐SM), the College will hold a Leadership Breakfast on May 18 in Tennessee Williams Theatre Lobby. Leadership Breakfasts bring together an array of business and organization leaders to discuss issues that impact the community and ways to collaboratively improve the Keys and the individual organizations. Because the new BAS‐SM was developed in response to a growing local workforce need for bachelor’s degree‐prepared workers, it is key that the College introduce the new bachelor’s degree to the leaders/employers of the community as a tool to strengthen their organizations. Recruitment Report Recruiting continues to work with internet inquiries and with local high school students (and their guidance counselors) to provide assistance with the FKCC application process. The Summer Term is starting with 179 applicants (a 24% increase over summer 2015). This semester also experienced a 19% increase in “inquiries” over last summer. Recruitment’s main focus now turns to fall 2016. Currently, over 700 potential students have inquired with the College, generating 308 applications submitted for Fall Term. To improve FKCC’s reach and impact on local military, the recruiting team hosted the Naval Branch Health Clinic staff for a student information session and attended the Navy Spouse Appreciation Brunch. Enrollment As of today, FTE for summer term is 107.9. This number exceeds a budgeted goal of 101.8 and should conclude with approximately 110 FTE for summer. Currently activities include assistance with last minute registration for summer and application processing for fall. This office is also active certifying recent graduates, printing and mailing diplomas, and forwarding official transcripts for those students planning to transfer. During this and coming semesters, Enrollment Management staff are working to evaluate all processes and procedures currently used for converting a student from “application” to “matriculant.” Several critical student enrollment processes are either unnecessarily labor intensive or, in some cases, obsolete. New efficiencies created in this area will generate a higher return on recruitment efforts and a more productive use of valuable human resources. FKCC Foundation Since the last FKCC Board of Trustees’ meeting, Foundation activity highlights include:  The Foundation received a $100,000 endowed scholarship contribution for an individual donor in the Upper Keys. We will continue to work with this donor to generate interest from others in his peer group. A photo and press release will be distributed shortly.  Scholarships for summer have been awarded and fall scholarships are now posted for applications.  The Foundation has engaged Clifton, Larson, and Allen in Lakeland, FL to conduct the annual financial audit for 2015‐16. This firm currently audits Wesley House, Aids Help, and The Housing Authority, as well as college foundations for Hillsborough and Polk in Florida. This firm is a good fit; they can work with the Foundation's timeline and within the budget. The anticipated start date is May 23. 

e Life Residence
e Life successfully completted the move‐out process for Lagoon Laanding on Maay 10th from sspring semester.. 27 residents have chosen to continue
e living in Lagooon Landing tthis summer either on a 12‐
month contract or thro
ough re‐applyying for the su
ummer term.. Residence LLife has also cconfirmed payment for 3 addition
nal students ffor summer w
with the potenntial for several more to complete the process. TThe end result is 30 or mo
ore residents ffor the summ
mer semester. This is twicee as many sum
mmer students aas Lagoon Lan
nding has see
en historicallyy. This trend sspeaks to thee strength of tthe program and the impro
ovements in liiving conditio
ons and the accademic suppport provided
d to our on‐caampus residents. A substan
ntial reduction
n in conduct iissues and maaintenance neeeds from ou
ur residents has occurred o
over the past yyear as well. TThe Resident Assistant (RA
A) program annd new proceesses are makking it easier to respond m
more quickly and with morre of an educational focuss to redirect b
behavior. Thee severity of tthe conduct isssues experie
enced has also
o decreased ssignificantly, sshowing thatt current efforts are havingg an impact on
n the choices students are making both on and off caampus. This summer will be the first time to utilize a summer RA (Resident Assistant) to offer support for residents in Lagoon Landing. During this time, RA Skylar Fucile will not only offer assistance to summer residents, but she will also work with Residence Life on preparations for the incoming fall residents. This will involve programming ideas, bulletin boards, newsletters, and many other social and educational concepts that will be reviewed and discussed to begin building a better program early in the year. By creating a strong first impression with residents, their respect for the building and the academic experience will increase and create a sense of community and tradition. A point has been reached in our program where strategies can focus on creating traditions and expectations of what it means to be a student at FKCC on campus rather than just focusing on occupancy. This is the ultimate goal of campus housing programs and a new level of student service for FKCC. Institutional Research Linda MacMinn is responsible for state reporting, IPEDS survey information, and a wide number of other reports required through the year. She also provides information used by staff for various projects and initiatives. Since the April Trustees’ meeting, the following items were addressed: Institutional Research Activity: ‐Working on end of spring term student, personnel, and facilities data submissions to state. ‐Completed numerous data requests from internal customers. ‐Assisted Enrollment Services Department in end of term processing of student records. ‐Working on converting most‐used MS Access reports to Argos. ‐Working on setting up Argos accounts and training end users. ‐Distributed Graduation Ceremony Survey. ‐Attended Banner Super User Group meeting and spring term graduation ceremony.
