Students seemed to live in fear of being “parkhursted,” that is being unfairly treated at a discipline hearing.



Actually, to get parkhursted (parked) means to be sent home (suspended for up to 3 terms) as a result of:

violating some form or the honor code (for which there are disciplinary hearings)

discipline or some infraction of the Standards of Conduct (diciplinary hearing involved)

for failing to meet the terms of academic probation (no hearings happens happens automatically, as students are made aware of the terms of their probation. However student can apply for reconsideration)

failing 2 courses in the same term or failing a course and getting 2 D’s. This happens regardless of what your overall gpa is (no hearings, however student can apply for reconsideration).
