Consistent with the mission, vision, values, and bylaws of Lincoln Memorial University, sanctions are (and should) be designed to support the learning environment through the achievement of the following goals:
- To Reestablish Order and Repair the Harm: This involves considering the common good, and sometimes may necessitate the temporary or permanent removal of the student from the University community.
- To Reimburse and/or Restore the Student: This involves returning the student to good standing within the University community, provided the safety of the community is not jeopardized by the student’s presence; and/or to Reimburse the community for costs that may be associated with address in a situation.
- To Develop Accountability: This allows the student to understand the necessity of taking accountability for one's own actions and to better understand how our actions affect our community and others around us.
