The Disciplinary Process At Appalachian State University As Perceived By Students, Faculty, And Staff

Colleges today set out to provide students with a well-rounded education. Discipline has been viewed as a part of that educational process. During the early college days, discipline was essentially a means of authoritative external control over the students. The concept of discipline has shifted towards helping students achieve self-discipline and responsible behavior. At the same time, changes in today's student, society, technology, and legal system have certainly influenced the disciplinary practices of today. Much emphasis in the last few years has centered on fair hearing and due process on behalf of the student.
