Whereas, it is not within Trent University\'s mandate, nor within its professional capabilities, to regulate the social, moral and political behavior of students; Whereas, the inadequately trained review committee has complete latitude to recommend any sanction for any complaint (from a warning to expulsion); Whereas, a student may have to take a course from a faculty member who would have encountered the student through the misconduct review process; Whereas, there is no clear definition of misconduct; Whereas, human rights and discrimination complaints fall under the jurisdiction of Trent\'s Policy on Discrimination and Harassment, the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Canadian judicial system; Whereas, four years ago a similar policy was proposed and then withdrawn due to overwhelming opposition from students, faculty and staff; We oppose the \"Student Non-Academic Misconduct Policy.\" Sincerely, The Undersigned
