If a cell phone policy violation results in harm to a person, what action is taken?

• A. Referred to JCJC Student Affairs Committee for immediate dismissal
• B. Written warning only
• C. Probation for one semester
• D. Mandatory safety training

Answer: (A)

When a cell phone policy violation results in harm to a person, the situation is treated as a serious safety violation. The appropriate action is to refer the matter to the JCJC Student Affairs Committee for immediate dismissal. This cascade reflects the gravity of causing harm and ensures a formal, fair review by the body charged with student conduct, protecting patients, peers, and the program’s standards. Lesser penalties like a written warning, probation, or mandatory safety training would not adequately address the risk or demonstrate the required seriousness when someone is harmed.
