Sent Home
There are a number of reasons how students in Upward Bound programs can be sent home. They include: drug use (including smoking and all kinds of tobacco use), consuming alcohol, not being accounted for (wandering off without telling anyone/missing activities/going outside of the boundaries and designated places), cheating, plagerizing, sneaking around with anyone who is not designated to "check-out" the person (we have a list of people who can check-out the person, and those people are then specified for on or off campus checkouts, all people listed are verified with the student's parents or legal guardians), excessive lying, physical fighting or verbal abuse, setting off fire alarms (or anything of that nature), shoplifting or any kind of illegal activity, suicidal tendencies (mentally or emotionally not being able to handle the program...we will then make sure that they are in contact with a counselor or some kind of professional), or if they're on Academic Probation (receiving anything lower than a C in any one class) for an entended period of time. Hmmm. That's all I can think of for the moment. Not all of the seven people who have been sent home during the course of this summer program have commited all of these listed, but they have done something significant which includes at least part of one reason mentioned above. In the past, all of the reasons presented above have been reasons for being kicked out in the past.
We do everything we can to give the students a chance to verify themself. Redeem themself. And if they do tell the truth and fess up (to things such as smoking) when confronted, then we usually give them a second chance. If they lie and we catch them, they're in trouble. Also, usually we can tell who the at risk students are and we intervene early with stern warnings. I, as an R.E. (Resident Educator) do not play a huge part in the discipline, but when things happen I may: write up incident reports, be involved in getting information from students, sit-in on conferences/questionings between the director of the program and the students, and/or stay back at the dorms with the Academic Probation students.
