Preamble

We, the students of Wagner College, pen this document in order to guarantee the rights of the student body at this institution.  The following articles fall within the parameters outlined in the Wagner College Student Handbook, as well as set forth expectations of the Wagner Community.  The following shall not be denied to any student of Wagner College.  Therefore, the Student Bill of Rights is as follows:

Articles

1. Every student has the right to freely propose and pursue ideas, including but not limited to peaceful assembly, petitions, and protests of grievances.
2. The student body shall have the right to participate in an open forum (i.e. Town Hall Meeting) at least once a semester in which any and all issues can be brought to the administration’s attention.
3. Every student shall be treated in a respectful manner in any and all communications with college faculty and staff.
4. Students have the right to expect unambiguous and parsimonious processes in regards to all offices of Wagner College.
5. Requests, questions, and trepidations of students shall be addressed within a timely fashion by the concerned and appropriate college faculty and staff.
6. Each student at Wagner College has the right to receive thorough and accurate advising in matters of their educational options.
7. Wagner College shall strive to provide a safe campus and community for all students, especially in regards to housing and campus security.
8. The student body has the right to expect healthy options in the matter of food and nutrition.
9. Students shall not be subject to disciplinary processes in regards to off-campus events that are not sponsored by the College unless their actions relate to the security of the campus community or deface the name of the Institution.
10. Wagner College shall make every effort to provide students with direct access to adequate and up-to-date resource materials for their educational needs, including but not limited to books, periodicals, and technology.
11. All students are granted the right to participate in any club or organization, as well as campus activities, without regard towards ethnicity, creed, ability, age, and/or sexual orientation.
12. Students have the right to organize and serve on the Student Government Association, which will work closely with Wagner College in an effort to assure the included rights will not be overlooked.

It must be noted that future situations cannot possibly be foreseen and the above listing of rights is not comprehensive.  In addition, it is here chronicled that students must do their part to guarantee their rights are granted during interactions with any and all members of the Wagner College community.  Amendments and alterations may be considered and will take effect if approved by two-thirds majority of the Body of the Student Government Association.
