As members of the College community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment; to engage in sustained and independent search for truth, and to exercise their rights to free inquiry and free speech in a responsible, nonviolent manner.
    • Students shall respect and obey civil and criminal law, and shall be subject to legal penalties for violation of laws of the City, County, State and Nation.  Student conduct in all of the Los Angeles Community Colleges must conform to District and College rules and regulations.  Violations of such rules and regulations, for which students are subject to disciplinary action, include, but are not limited to…willful disobedience, violation of college rules & regulations, dishonesty, unauthorized entry, college documents, disruption of classes, theft or damage to property, interference with Peace of college, assault or battery, alcohol and drugs, lethal weapons, discriminatory behavior, unlawful assembly, conspiring to perform illegal acts, threatening behavior, disorderly conduct, theft or abuse of computer resources, interference with classes, interference with performance of duties by employees, assault or abuse of instructor.”
