TAMIU Student Handbook 2022-2023

Page 81 of 92 The student receiving medical assistance or a student initiating medical assistance in an alcohol or controlled substance emergency qualifies for amnesty if: 1. The student requests medical assistance from the Univeristy Police Department, medical emergency professionals, or other University officials on behalf of a student experiencing an alcohol or controlled substance medical-related emergency; 2. The student seeking medical attention does so at the time of the incident; 3. The student meets with SCCE administration within ten (10) University business days of the incident; and 4. The student agrees to timely completion of assigned educational activities, assessments, and/or treatments assigned by SCCE. If the student completes assignments by SCCE, the incident will not be documented as a formal disciplinary record for the individual. Criteria for granting amnesty may include but is not limited to the severity of the incident, the student’s disposition regarding the incident, whether the student has been granted amnesty in the past, and the student’s previous conduct record. Students participating in intercollegiate programs (athletics) who previously invoked the Safe Harbor Program under the Athletics Department are not eligible to invoke TAMIU’s Amnesty . Amnesty in Relation to Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, and Stalking When a student reports, in good faith, being the victim of or a witness to an incident of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, TAMIU will not take disciplinary action against that student for violations of the Student Conduct Code occurring at or near the time of the incident reported. TAMIU may, however, investigate to determine whether a report of an incident of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking was made in good faith. This amnesty will not apply in situations where: a. A student reports their own commission or complicity in the commission of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking [as defined in System Regulation 08.01.01]; or b. A student’s behavior occurring near or at the time of the incident could result in a suspension, expulsion, or dismissal from TAMIU.
