1. The University of New Brunswick is a community of faculty, staff and students, involved in teaching, learning, research and related activities. The administration, staff and faculty assume that students come to the University for a serious purpose and accept responsibilities as members of the University community.

2. The University recognizes students’ freedom to manage their personal lives, behaviour and inter-personal relations subject to the criminal and civil law of Canada and New Brunswick, and University regulations.

3. In exercising their entitlement to participate in University programs and activities, students are expected to:

• abide by University regulations;

• respect the integrity of University programs and activities;

• acknowledge the diversity of the University community and the freedom of all members to participate in University programs and activities;

• promote the peaceful and safe enjoyment of University facilities by other members of the University and public;

• conduct themselves at all times in a manner that will reflect credit on themselves and on the University.

4. The University from time to time defines standards of student behaviour and makes provisions for student discipline when they engage in conduct that:

• jeopardizes the order and functioning of the programs and activities of the University;

• endangers the health, safety, rights or property of the University, its members or visitors.

5. Provisions for student discipline are not intended to shelter students from their civic responsibilities nor add unnecessarily to those responsibilities. In cases in which criminal or civil proceedings have not been taken or would not adequately protect the University’s interest and responsibilities, proceedings may be brought in accordance with University regulations and the University of New Brunswick Act.

6. The University of New Brunswick Act provides broad authority for dealing with non-academic student conduct. For example:

• the President has broad discretionary powers of suspension for dealing with both academic and non-academic disciplinary matters;

• the Board of Deans has jurisdiction for matters of student discipline and certain complaints may be handled by a Deans tribunal in lieu of the Student Disciplinary Committee; the Deans also may hear appeals as provided by the Code;

• the Board of Governors may approve the expulsion of a student from the University; a recommendation for expulsion is made by the President with the concurrence of the Board of Deans;

• the Board of Governors may make rules and regulations for the discipline of students and the imposition of fines and other penalties and sanctions; the Student Disciplinary Code and the Internal Residence Discipline Policy are examples.

7. As a general principle, the various authorities for dealing with student discipline shall be exercised so as to prevent the imposition of punishment by more than one authority for the same or an included offence. This principle shall not preclude University authority being exercised to suspend a student from the University, or to suspend or evict a student from a University residence, pending or following the imposition of discipline, where such action is deemed to be in the best interests of the University community. This principle is not intended to preclude a student organization from taking action against a student in accordance with its constitution and bylaws on the same facts giving rise to disciplinary action under University authority.

8. The Code has been established to provide students with a means of self-discipline for non-academic misconduct. It is not meant as a replacement for the laws to which the University or larger community are subject. The Code is one alternative whereby the University recognizes the special environment it creates and chooses to discipline students in that context.

9. The Code covers all students while on a UNB campus or at an off-campus site offering UNB related programs. The Code also extends to off-campus events to which a University official has been assigned. Students should take note that the Code applies to misconduct arising in the context of inter-personal and intimate relations.

10. There shall be a Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC) on each campus which shall hear and dispose of charges laid against students under the Code.

11. A student charged with an offence under the Code has the right to be represented by counsel or other person acting as the student’s agent and is entitled to receive the assistance of the Director of Student Affairs and Services or designate and the Student Advocate (UNBF), or the Director of Student Services or designate (UNBSJ).

12. The jurisdiction of the Code shall include a student living in a University residence. Matters of disciplinary action within the residences involving residence students will, in general, be carried out within that community, and in accordance with the rules and procedures adopted by that community. Rules of conduct and disciplinary offences applicable to the Residence Community include the General Regulations on Conduct contained in Section B of the Undergraduate Calendar, all offences and sanctions specified within Section D of the Student Disciplinary Code, the Terms and Conditions set out within the Residence Agreement, applicable University policy, and the rules adopted by each house.

13. Prosecution pursuant to the Code shall not proceed against a student where charges of a criminal nature for the same or an included offence have been laid in a court of law and:

a) disposition is pending;

b) the student has been acquitted;

c) the student has been convicted.

The commencement of civil or criminal proceedings subsequent to the disposition of charges under the Code shall not be a ground to re-open the case. This provision does not affect the powers of the University or its duly authorized officers to impose sanctions pursuant to the University of New Brunswick Act.

The Board shall appoint officers annually for the implementation of the Code. By such appointment, the Board delegates its authority to such individual officers as set out in the Code and as necessary for the effective administration of the Code.

1. Commissioner of Student Discipline (Commissioner) for each campus who shall be responsible for the administration and implementation of the Code in cooperation with the Supervisory Committee.

2. Technical Advisor (Advisor) for each campus who shall provide assistance as required to all those involved in the implementation of the Code.

3. Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC) Membership: recommended to the Board, through the Commissioner (UNBF), following a formal vote by the appropriate Council (see Appendix B).

All members are voting.

(c) Chair and Secretary: the Supervisory Committee shall elect its own Chair (voting) annually, and the Commissioner (UNBF) shall be the Secretary (voting).

5. Student Campus Police (CP)

The Student Campus Police shall comprise such members and shall perform such duties as specified in this Code, as required by Security and as assigned by the Commissioner. A CP shall be deemed to be an authorized person and an agent of UNB for the purposes of s. 2 and s. 7 of the Trespass Act of New Brunswick (see Appendix C).

• conduct themselves at all times in a manner that will reflect credit on themselves and the University.

D. The University has defined standards of student behaviour and made provisions for student discipline when they engage in conduct that is inconsistent with the foregoing principles. It shall be deemed, and the Board considers, that each of the following types of conduct is a breach of University regulations, and is grounds for consideration of discipline up to and including suspension or expulsion. As the types of misconduct are stated in general terms, students are advised to familiarize themselves in greater depth with University regulations, and to consult with University officials where they have any doubt about the propriety of an intended action or behaviour.

Unacceptable types of behaviour include, but are not limited to:

1. violence, harm or threat to any person or the person’s property;

2. unnecessarily endangering the health or safety of other persons;

3. possession of a firearm or other weapon on University premises without specific University permission;

4. acting or speaking in a disruptive, disorderly, indecent or offensive manner, or in a way that might reasonable cause fear;

5. unauthorized infringement or prevention of access by others to University classes, services, events, facilities and property;

6. disruption or obstruction of any authorized activity, event, class or service of the University, or interference with any person’s rights to carry out legitimate activities, speak or associate with others;

7. refusal to comply with a reasonable request by authorized University officials including Security and the Student Campus Police;

8. failure to provide identification to authorized University officials when asked, or providing false identification or information;

9. obstruction of Security or Student Campus Police in the performance of their duties;

10. unauthorized use or occupation of any University property;

11. conduct that results directly or indirectly in damage, misuse, defacing, or theft of University property;

12. improper use or consumption of alcoholic beverages, restricted drugs, or intoxication or impairment in a public place;

13. other conduct that is prohibited or proscribed by University rule, regulation or policy;

14. contravention of any provision of any federal, provincial or municipal statute on University premises or while engaged in University authorized events or activities.

E. The University of New Brunswick Act provides broad authority for dealing with nonacademic student conduct. For example:

• the President has broad discretionary powers including suspension for dealing with academic and non-academic disciplinary matters;

• the Board of Deans has jurisdiction for matters of student discipline;

• the Board of Governors may approve the expulsion of a student from the University;

• the Board of Governors may make rules and regulations for the discipline of students and the imposition of fines and other penalties and sanctions; the Student Disciplinary Code and the Internal Residence Policy are examples.

F. As a general principle, the various authorities for dealing with student discipline shall be exercised so as to avoid the imposition of punishment by more than one authority for the same or an included offence. This principle shall not preclude University authority being exercised to suspend a student from the University, or to suspend or evict a student from a University residence, pending or following the imposition of discipline, where such action is deemed to be in the best interests of the University community. This principle is not intended to preclude a student organization from taking action against a student in accordance with its constitution and bylaws on the same facts giving rise to disciplinary action under University authority.

G. Information regarding University disciplinary regulations and procedures is available from the offices of the Director of Student Affairs and Services, the Director of Security and Traffic, the Chief of Student Campus Police, and the Commissioner of Student Discipline on the UNBF campus and from the Director of Student Services and the Manager of Safety and Security on the UNBSJ campus. When students believe that a member of the University community has violated the principles stated in B above in relation to them, or where students are uncertain about whether behaviour they are contemplating may violate University regulations, they should consult the Chair of their Department, or the Dean of their Faculty, or the Director of Student Affairs and Services (UNBF), or the Director of Student Services (UNBSJ), or the Director of Security and Traffic (UNBF) or the Manager of Safety and Security (UNBSJ), or the Chief of Student Campus Police, or the Commissioner of Student Discipline, as appropriate.

PROCEDURES CONCERNING NOTICES UNDER THE TRESPASS ACT

(S.N.B. 1983, c. T-11.2)

The Trespass Act provides a means of ordering someone, with due notice, not to trespass, and sets out penalties on summary conviction for violation of that notice. The notice may be given by word of mouth or in writing by an authorized person. Under the Act "an authorized person" means an owner or occupier of premises, forest land or land used for agricultural purposes and an agent of an owner or occupier thereof. The Act (S. 2) provides that no person shall trespass on the premises of a university "with respect to which he has had notice from an authorized person not to trespass." It also provides (S. 7) that the owner or occupier of premises "may require any person he believes on reasonable and probable grounds to have committed an offence under this Act [i.e. to have violated a trespass NOTICE] to identify himself."

UNB procedures for the issuance of NOTICES are as follows:

1. A Trespass NOTICE should be issued only after other reasonable avenues for resolving a situation have been explored, and should be issued by authorized University officer.

2. A word-of-mouth NOTICE may be given by any authorized person who has the responsibility for the condition of, the activities conducted on and the persons allowed to enter the relevant premises. Authorized person includes Deans, the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services); the Associate Director (Residential Life); residence Dons and Proctors, Residence Assistants (RA); Campus Security; Student Campus Police and others with direct responsibility for specific premises (e.g. SUB Director, Bookstore Manager, Dining Hall Manager, Associate Director Conference Services).

On the Saint John campus the authorized persons are the Manager of Security and Safety or the Vice-President (Saint John), Security, CP, residence Dons and Residence Assistants (RA’s).

3. A word-of-mouth NOTICE must be reported to the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) or designate (in cases occurring in the Residence system) or the University Secretary or designate who will cause a formal written NOTICE (model attached) to be issued if one is deemed necessary. Persons giving a NOTICE must also report the incident to their immediate superior. UNB Security will continue to issue their own written notices, copied to the University Secretary.

4. The written NOTICE should be delivered as follows:

a) to persons residing in Fredericton/Saint John, by UNB Security;

b) to persons outside Fredericton/Saint John, by Registered Mail or equivalent means.

5. The word-of-mouth NOTICE does not have to contain anything more than the following statement:

"Under the Trespass Act you are given NOTICE, that you are to leave these premises immediately. If you refuse or return, a peace officer will be called."

UNB Security, Student Campus Police, or in extreme cases the City Police, may be called for assistance.

6. When a word-of-mouth NOTICE is given, or subsequent trespass is committed, the person should be asked to identify him/herself: failure to do so renders the person liable to arrest.

NOTE: it is important that the subject of a NOTICE be accurately and adequately identified -- i.e., full name, local address and student I.D. number (if applicable).

7. If the subject of a NOTICE (or trespasser) refuses either to identify him/herself or to leave, UNB Security should be advised. Security in turn will call the City Police. The trespasser should be kept under observation so that a full statement of the violation can be given to the Police Officer. The Police should also be provided with a copy of the written NOTICE where such exists.

NOTE: The remedy of self-help (i.e. forcibly detaining a trespasser until the Police arrive) is available in a trespass situation but should be resorted to only in extreme cases where there is an immediate concern for personal safety.

8. Copies of the NOTICE should be circulated as appropriate, and may be displayed where deemed necessary.

NOTE: a photograph should be obtained, if possible, and included in the posted NOTICE.

9. Termination or modification of a Notice may be given by an authorized University official in consultation with the office issuing the written NOTICE, and must be in writing to the recipient, with copies to appropriate University officials.

RESIDENCE COMMUNITY DISCIPLINE

The following policy and procedures, recommended by the Joint Board/Senate Residence Committee and by the Student Discipline Supervisory Board, were approved by the Board of Governors on 19 November 1981. (Revised 1988, 1996, 1998. Further revisions pending.)

GENERAL

The Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) on the Fredericton campus is responsible to the University for all matters concerning the admission, control, residence programming, and general behaviour of all students in residence. This includes supervising and coordinating the educational and administrative work of the Associate Directors, Dons, Associate Dons, Resident Fellows, Proctors and Academic Resource Persons of the various houses within the Community.

The Director of Student Services on the Saint John campus is responsible to the University for all matters concerning residence student life and behaviour on that campus. This includes supervising and coordinating the educational and administrative work of the Don and Residence Assistants (RA) of the campus residence.

A. RESIDENCE DISCIPLINE

1. In matters of internal residence discipline, the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) (UNBF) or the Director of Student Services (UNBSJ) is the University's officer responsible. Included in these responsibilities is the power to fine, and otherwise discipline, admit, evict, and readmit students as appropriate.

2. The Dons, in turn, are responsible to the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) (UNBF) or the Director of Student Services (UNBSJ) for student discipline in their particular residences. This includes responsibility for appropriate disciplinary action within their houses, including overseeing the actions of a House Discipline Committee where such a committee exists.

3. The decision either to transfer a student from one residence to another or to suspend or evict a student from the Residence Community will be made by the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) (UNBF) or the Director of Student Services (UNBSJ) on the recommendation of the Don (or Dons, if more than one house is involved).

4. All matters of disciplinary action with the residences involving residence students will, in general, be carried out within that community, and in accordance with the rules and procedures developed by that community.

5. Rules and conduct and disciplinary offences applicable to the Residence Community include the general regulations on conduct contained in Section B of the Undergraduate Calendar, all offences and sanctions specified within Section D of the Student Disciplinary Code, the Terms and Conditions set out within the Residence Agreement, applicable University policy, and the rules adopted by each house.

6. As a general principle, the various authorities for dealing with student discipline shall be exercised so as to avoid the imposition of punishment by more than authority for the same or an included offence. This principle shall not preclude University authority being exercised to suspend a student from the University, or to suspend or evict a student from a University residence, pending or following the imposition of discipline, where such action is deemed to be in the best interests of the University community. This principle is not intended to preclude a student organization from taking action against a student in accordance with its constitution and by laws on the same facts giving rise to disciplinary action under University authority.

B. DISCIPLINE OF NON-RESIDENCE UNB STUDENTS

When non-residence students are involved in disciplinary offences within or adjacent to UNB residence buildings, complaints shall be processed in accordance with the Student Disciplinary Code or handled by another means available to UNB.

C. APPEALS

1. Matters of internal house discipline can be appealed to the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) (UNBF) or the Director of Student Services (UNBSJ). Any further appeal should not be permitted except in unusual cases, at the discretion of the Commissioner of Student Discipline.

2. Appeals from a decision of the Director (Residential Life and Conference Services) or the Director of Student Services involving breaches of natural justice should be directed to the Commissioner of Student Discipline who may refer the appeal to the Board of Deans. Students may seek assistance from the Director of Student Affairs and Services or the Student Advocate (UNBF), or the Assistant Vice-President (Academic Support Services) (UNBSJ).

MARTIN'S CRIMINAL CODE CANADA EVIDENCE ACT -- SECTION 5

INCRIMINATING QUESTIONS -- Answer not receivable against witness.

5. (1) No witness shall be excused from answering any question upon the ground that the answer to such question may tend to criminate him, or may tend to establish his liability to a civil proceeding at the instance of the Crown or of any person.

(2) Where with respect to any question a witness objects to answer upon the ground that his answer may tend to criminate him, or may tend to establish his liability to a civil proceeding at the instance of the Crown or of any person, and if but for this Act, or the Act of any provincial legislature, the witness would therefore have been excused from answering the question, then although the witness is by reason of this Act, or by reason of such provincial Act, compelled to answer, the answer so given shall not be used or admissible in evidence against him in any criminal trial, or other criminal proceeding against him thereafter taking place, other than a prosecution for perjury in the giving of such evidence.
