Disruptive Behavior

Statement of Policy 

General 

BYU-Pathway Worldwide will act as the service provider for BYU-Idaho and Ensign College. Students who  violate policies or procedures, in public or online, may be required to leave the program when their  misconduct impacts the Institution’s ability to perform its mission or disrupts the educational process  and environment.  

Disruptive Behavior  

Disruptive behavior may include but is not limited to abuse of administrative processes, intimidation, threats, harassment, or other inappropriate behavior. Disruptive behavior may involve verbal or written  statements, gestures, or expressions that communicate direct or indirect threats of emotional, sexual, or physical harm.  

Disruptive behavior may include conduct that challenges or expresses differences of opinion in a disrespectful, belligerent, or uncooperative manner.  

Harassment, Hazing, Intimidation, or Aggressive Behavior 

Harassment is any unwanted behavior, physical or verbal (or even suggested), that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. All forms of harassment (verbal, physical, mental, or sexual), hazing, intimidation, exploitation, or aggressive behavior that threatens or endangers the  physical or emotional health and safety of others are prohibited.  

Participants behaving in such a way may be subject to BYU-Pathway Worldwide disciplinary action including suspension and/or dismissal as well as referral to law enforcement. 

Procedures for Handling Misconduct 

Reasonable efforts should be made to resolve concerns at the lowest organizational level. Unresolved concerns should be reported to the BYU-Pathway Worldwide Student Wellness Office.
