STAFF DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

The staff at the Kean Miron Student Center believe that this department offers some of the most important jobs that a student can have on campus. Our staff are highly visible and they interact with every population on the campus (students, faculty, staff and visitors). Because of this, we hold our student staff members to a higher standard.

Therefore, it is important to note that there are policies in place designed to maintain the level of professionalism expected by our customers. Here are some examples of policies that will be in effect when you are at your work stations/areas.
