SECTION 2: CHALKING POLICY
I. Purpose and Philosophy
Lafayette College recognizes that chalking can serve as a valuable medium for communication, expression, and the promotion of campus events. In alignment with the College’s mission, all forms of distribution of literature, including chalking, must not conflict with the College’s Mission and Values, violate applicable federal, state or local law, or violate any College policy, rule, regulation, or procedure. This policy seeks to balance students’ rights (as set forth in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of Students) with the College’s commitment to maintaining an inclusive community and preserving the campus’s aesthetic and structural integrity.
As stated in Policy on Distribution of Literature (General Campus Policies, Section 3: Policy on Distribution of Literature), distribution of literature must not interfere with College operations.
II. Permissible Locations and Materials
Chalking is permitted on campus, with the permission of the Dean of Students, and is subject to the following physical restrictions:
- Approved Locations Only: Chalking is restricted to the location identified in the chalking requests and approved by the Dean of Students.
- Horizontal Surfaces Only: Chalking is strictly limited to horizontal, outdoor concrete or paved walkways.
- Exposure to Elements: Chalking may be applied only in areas fully exposed to rain and natural weathering. Chalking under overhangs, archways, or covered porches is prohibited.
- Prohibited Surfaces: To prevent property damage and the high-maintenance removal required, chalking is prohibited on all vertical surfaces, including but not limited to buildings, walls, stairs, columns, lampposts, trees, monuments, benches, planters, and waste receptacles. This prohibition aligns with the restrictions included in the Policy on Distribution of Literature of the Student Handbook.
- Approved Materials: Only water-soluble sidewalk chalk may be used.
- Prohibited Materials: The use of markers, paints, oil-based products, spray chalk, or any other permanent or semi-permanent aerosol containers is strictly prohibited and will be treated as vandalism.
III. Content and Community Standards
All chalking must comply with all applicable College policies, rules, regulations, and procedures, including but not limited to the Code of Conduct, and Policy on Equal Opportunity, Harassment, and Nondiscrimination. All chalking must conform to the following standards:
- Messages should align with the College’s advertising standards, specifically those that encourage cultural enrichment and campus engagement.
- Chalking that contains language or imagery that violates College policies—including but not limited to the Policy on Equal Opportunity, Harassment, and Nondiscrimination or the policy on Hazing—is strictly prohibited.
- Student Organizations, if applicable, must include their name or the event’s name to ensure accountability and message clarity.
IV. Responsibility and Removal
- Standard Removal: Chalking is intended to be temporary. The College reserves the right to remove chalking after a promoted event concludes or as part of regularly scheduled maintenance if it occurs within the approval timeframe. No chalking shall remain indefinitely.
- Emergency Removal: Any chalking found to violate this policy, or the Code, or other College policy will be removed immediately.
- Conduct and Sanctions: Individuals or organizations found to have violated this policy may be referred to the student conduct process. Costs associated with the professional removal of prohibited materials (such as spray chalk or paint) will be charged to the responsible party/parties.
V. Consultative Guidance
For specific inquiries about approved locations or to ensure a planned campus-wide chalking campaign complies with all applicable College policies and procedures, students should consult the Dean of Students or the Policy on Distribution of Literature in the General Campus Policies section of the Student Handbook.

SECTION 7: POLICY PROHIBITING ON-CAMPUS STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN UNRECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS
PREAMBLE
Lafayette has long been characterized as a living-learning community that fosters the development of students as leaders and as campus citizens, promotes high academic achievement, nurtures a lifelong love of learning, and fosters the development of close friendships and a sense of shared purpose. These are essential components of a Lafayette education. The College recognizes that over the years fraternity and sorority members have produced many noteworthy contributions to campus life.
However, among the College’s foremost concerns are the safety and welfare of its students. For this reason, the College has established the Fraternity and Sorority of Excellence Program. This program provides training to our recognized fraternities and sororities to foster safe, informed, and thoughtful organizations, and seeks to address any negative Greek behavior. Fraternities and sororities that are not recognized (or authorized) by Lafayette do not participate in these training programs and are not subject to the College’s rules and standards. These organizations may undermine those fraternities and sororities that are recognized by the College and may put the safety of students at risk. For these reasons, the Board of Trustees has voted to prohibit unrecognized organizations from operating on property owned or under the control of the College (referred to as “Lafayette Campus”), or from using any College resources or property, and to prohibit students from participating in unrecognized organizations while on the Lafayette campus, or through the use of any other College resources or property. If a student does participate in an unrecognized organization on the Lafayette Campus or through making use of any College resources or property, that student will be in violation of the policy and will be subject to discipline.
By enacting this policy, the board does not seek to limit the ability of students to associate freely with whomever they wish entirely outside the bounds of the Lafayette campus. Although they are advised against doing so, Lafayette students are not prohibited from joining unrecognized organizations whose activities take place entirely off the Lafayette campus, do not reach onto the Lafayette campus, and do not use any other College property, facilities, or resources.
UNRECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS
No student may rush, pledge, join, recruit for, participate in, perpetuate, contribute funds to, or otherwise engage in activities as an actual or prospective member of an unrecognized organization while on any property owned or under the control of the College (referred to as “Lafayette campus”), including but not limited to the public and private areas of the College, residence halls or other living areas on campus, as well as other buildings and facilities, including the grounds, athletic fields, and other property of the College, or while otherwise using Lafayette’s resources, wherever they may be located. (Such conduct is hereinafter referred to as “Prohibited On-Campus Conduct.”) Prohibited On-Campus Conduct also extends to the use of College-provided electronic mail, telephone service, servers, or other College-supplied technology, even when physically off of campus property, if using Lafayette’s resources to reach onto campus to engage in conduct regarding an unrecognized organization. The foregoing broad prohibition on the use of any College property in connection with Prohibited On-Campus Conduct by unrecognized organizations is intended to make clear that any such conduct is undertaken without College approval or endorsement, and constitutes a violation of this policy.
An unrecognized organization is any fraternity, sorority, or other similar social organization that:
- Previously was recognized by the College but is no longer so recognized; or
- Has a membership and purpose substantially identical to a fraternity or sorority that previously was recognized by the College but is no longer recognized by the College, even if operating under a different name; or
- Purports to be any other fraternity, sorority, or organization not recognized by the College, regardless of whether it has a national affiliation or is recognized elsewhere.
The College retains full and final authority to determine whether a particular organization is operating as an unrecognized organization, and to determine whether a particular student is engaging in Prohibited On-Campus Conduct with an unrecognized organization.
Any student who violates the College’s policy against Prohibited On-Campus Conduct with an unrecognized organization will automatically be referred to the student conduct process, and be subject to the full range of disciplinary sanctions available at the College, up to and including expulsion. Moreover, any such organization may itself be subject to additional organization-wide discipline, legal action, and in appropriate circumstances, could face civil and criminal penalties.
Participation by students in unrecognized organizations while completely off campus, without the use of any College resources and without reaching onto campus to engage in conduct is strongly discouraged, but is not prohibited. Students also are reminded that they are representatives of Lafayette College wherever they are. Conduct away from the campus reflects upon the student and the College, and the College may take disciplinary action against students for misbehavior off campus.
SECTION 8: RESIDENCE LIFE POLICIES AND CONTRACTS
As a residential college, Lafayette believes in the value of students living and learning together for all years of their enrollment. All students are required to live in College-approved (on-campus, college-owned off-campus, or privately owned off-campus) housing or commute from their parent/guardian’s home.
Housing policies, contracts, and expectations for the current academic year can be found on the Office of Residence Life’s website:
Violations of any Residence Life and Housing policies constitute prohibited conduct under the Code of Conduct.
SECTION 9: STUDENT HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELLBEING POLICY
STUDENTS AND PREVENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF-HARM, AND/OR HARM TO OTHERS
Students who observe or suspect another student is experiencing acute emotional distress and/or might be at risk for hurting themselves or another person(s) should immediately seek assistance for that individual. Report of concerning behaviors will help ensure students receive timely assistance and may even help save a life. In life-threatening situations students should call Public Safety directly at 610-330-4444. In non-life-threatening situations students may contact the dean of students, case manager & care coordinator, Counseling or Health Centers, chaplains, or any member of the Student Life staff to seek assistance or to notify the College that a student is in need of assistance. Members of the community also may complete a Student of Concern form (onepard.lafayette.edu) to alert the College about concerning behaviors.
STUDENT SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION TEAM
Lafayette College endeavors to provide a mutually respectful, collaborative, and empathetic environment that is accessible, inclusive, and diverse where all students can flourish. In circumstances where a student’s actions are such that they could harm the health, safety, or well-being of those within the Lafayette College community (including the student), the College requires the student to engage with the Lafayette College Student Support and Intervention Team (SSIT). SSIT is a non-governance group that provides the highest level of holistic support and care to foster student success and development.
Under the leadership of the Dean of Students, SSIT members work together to manage individual student cases by sharing relevant information and strategies based on the student’s individually assessed needs to address issues of behavior and well-being. SSIT consists of dedicated college professionals who help Lafayette College students who may have challenges navigating their college experiences and life circumstances. Through holistic support and care, SSIT helps distressed students connect to the appropriate resources to manage their well-being and success.
To that end, SSIT:
- Provides a structured, proactive, and collaborative process for addressing specific student needs.
- Identifies and initiates appropriate immediate intervention.
- Develops communication, coordination, and intervention plans on a case-by-case basis.
- Coordinates a holistic follow-up plan, in collaboration with college partners, to ensure services, support, and resources are implemented effectively.
When students struggle psychologically, physically, emotionally, behaviorally, academically, and socially, SSIT works to help those students with the necessary college-provided resources. This individualized assessment will be used to help determine if the student’s behavior poses a threat to the health and safety of the College community and/or constitutes a serious, ongoing disruption to the educational and residential aspects of the College.
HEALTH AND SAFETY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
In situations where students have engaged in behavior that has resulted in serious harm to themselves, serious harm to others, consistent disruption to the College community, interference with the educational process of themselves or others, or if the student refused to comply with the established outcomes, the Dean of Students can place the student on a temporary leave of absence for health and safety reasons. Students whose behavior meet any of the described behaviors will be subject to review via a Health and Safety Assessment to determine if the behavior can be addressed while the student remains enrolled or if a required leave of absence is warranted.
A Health and Safety Assessment, facilitated by the Dean of Students Office or SSIT, involves reviewing any immediately available information relating to the student to determine whether the student can remain enrolled. The assessment reviews the general nature of the circumstances related to the student’s behavior; recommends how the behavior can be ameliorated; explores whether the student is able to function in an independent and academically rigorous environment; and determines whether the student presents a continuing threat to the health, safety, and well-being of any member of the College community. A student who is referred to a medical or mental health professional for a clinical health and safety assessment will be required to sign a release of information so that the general circumstances can be discussed with the Case Manager, Dean of Students, and SSIT. The release does not require that the counselor, physician, or health care professional to discuss all the details or background of the case, but it must allow the person to share the following information: (1) that the student has been seen; (2) the general nature of the circumstances related to the student’s behavior; (3) recommendations for how the behavior can be ameliorated; (4) whether the student is able to function in an independent and academically rigorous environment; and (5) whether the student presents a continuing threat to the health, safety, and well-being of any member of the College community. Students have the option to request the clinical health and safety assessment be conducted by an off-campus licensed mental health or medical professional of their choice. The College reserves the right to determine if the assessment conducted by an off-campus professional meets its criteria.
When at all possible, the Dean of Students Office or SSIT seeks to resolve the concerns with the student’s cooperation while the student remains enrolled or by the student’s voluntary choice to withdraw from the College for a period of time. When the student declines a voluntary leave of absence or refuses to cooperate with the necessary efforts to identify and ameliorate the situation, the College may impose a required leave of absence without the student’s consent.
REQUIRED LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS
If a required leave of absence for health and safety reasons is warranted, the student will be withdrawn from the College for a period of time consistent with a student’s individual circumstances before consideration will be given for reinstatement. The leave of absence may be adjusted if the student’s circumstances change. This requirement is intended to give students time to address the behavior(s) that necessitated the leave of absence so that they can be successful upon their return to campus. For this reason, remote course participation is not an option for students who are required to take a leave of absence for health or safety reasons. These students are encouraged to work with their academic class dean to determine the appropriate academic outcome for the courses in which they are enrolled. A leave of absence for health or safety reasons may result in the loss of some or all tuition as detailed in the Refund Policy found on the College’s Finance and Administration website. The College administers leaves of absence in a nondiscriminatory manner and will provide reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, and procedures that are necessary to prevent discrimination unless the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity, including the College’s academic standards and course requirements.
REINSTATEMENT PROCESS FOR A REQUIRED LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS
At the time a student is required to take a leave of absence for health or safety reasons, the Dean of Students or designee will send the student the parameters and documentation requirements identifying the conditions that must be met before they can return to campus. To return following a required health and safety leave of absence, students must provide documentation satisfactory to the College to address the concerns of the team that necessitated the required leave of absence. In most cases, students also will be required to provide written documentation from a licensed mental health or medical professional attesting to their readiness to return to full-time study and (if applicable) to campus housing in a residential college setting, as well as any recommendations for follow-up treatment and ongoing support. The Dean of Students and/or SSIT reserve the right to require an evaluation from a licensed health care professional with expertise in the area related to the student’s behavior (e.g., forensic psychology, substance abuse, etc.).
Once the student has provided the required information and is deemed by the Dean of Students ready to return, reinstatement procedures can be finalized. The deadline for submission of reinstatement materials is June 1 for fall semester, Nov. 1 for spring semester, and April 1 for summer session. Requests for reinstatement during the semester in which a leave occurred will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will take into account the feasibility of a student’s ability to make satisfactory academic progress toward graduation, among any other factors that the Dean of Students may determine to be relevant.
DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT A RETURN TO CAMPUS FOLLOWING AN ABSENCE FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS
Students who are absent from the College for health or safety reasons must provide a report from the evaluating licensed medical or mental health professional as part of the College’s process for determining whether a student may return to a College-owned residence and/or to full-time academic study. In addition, students are strongly encouraged to meet with a member of the counseling or medical staff at the Bailey Health Center so that they can receive the support they need to make a successful transition back to campus.
SECTION 10: POLICY ON SOLICITATION
I. Solicitation on Lafayette College property by College and non-College-related vendors is regulated. Solicitation includes going door-to-door in a residence hall or other College building or maintaining a position anywhere on College property to solicit as people pass by.
II. All vendors whose intended audience are campus students, including both College-related student vendors (currently enrolled students, officially recognized College organizations) and non-College-related vendors (businesses or corporations, including private sellers) must receive approval to be able to solicit on campus by contacting the dean of students. To receive approval to solicit on campus, the student or organization must provide the following information:
- The date, time and location of event, as well as the sponsoring group.

- No solicitation may occur during final examination periods
nor reading days. - If the salesperson is, in any way, causing a disruption to students anywhere on campus, a student may file a written complaint with the dean of students, and the approval to solicit may be revoked.
- Solicitation may be further limited with regard to hours, locations, services, products, or in any other way deemed desirable by the dean of students or designee. The approval to solicit by a College-related vendor should not imply College approval, endorsement, or guarantee of the solicitor or the products or services.
V. Certain non-College-related vendors may be permitted to solicit in fraternity or sorority living groups. These vendors (e.g., stationery, fraternity paraphernalia, etc.) must first obtain a written permit from the dean of students before any solicitation occurs, even if the solicitation is carried out by a student.
The above guidelines also apply to all non-College-related vendors with permits.
SECTION 11: STUDENT ORGANIZATION POLICIES
