    00:00:01.100 --> 00:00:04.100
>> My name is Louise Gaile and I'm
the Director of Student Conduct here
    00:00:04.100 --> 00:00:06.190
at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
    00:00:06.190 --> 00:00:10.670
My main responsibility is to uphold our
policies and procedures that we have here
    00:00:10.670 --> 00:00:12.960
for our students on the university campus.
    00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.980
If a student came into my office it
would be because they have violated one
    00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:25.590
of our student codes, and we have a student
code of conduct that they go by and if one
    00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:31.150
of those violations -- it could be
brought by a faculty member, a student,
    00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:33.880
or it could be brought by the university police.
    00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:35.410
Violation of drug policy.
    00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:39.900
We have a no tolerance drug
policy here on campus, zero.
    00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:47.590
Fighting is automatic suspension
from the university.
    00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:53.340
Now, if a student -- if I get a report from
a faculty member or another student with say,
    00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:58.810
a complaint with a student's behavior
then I would set up an appointment
    00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:00.350
for the student to come in to see me.
    00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:06.400
If it's an appointment that I've set up, the
student will come in, I will give them a copy
    00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.430
of the complaint and then I would ask the
student to tell me their side of the story.
    00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:18.090
A pre-hearing is where I have all
the information that has been brought
    00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:23.260
against the student, so I bring the student
in so they could have a copy of everything
    00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:27.910
that I have so -- and then from the
pre-hearing I set up the conduct hearing
    00:01:27.910 --> 00:01:30.940
where they would go before
a student conduct board.
