Misrepresentation
The university expects everyone to uphold ethical standards in conducting the business of the college. No employee should engage in conduct that constitutes a substantial misrepresentation of the college, including the nature of its educational programs, financial charges, or the employability of its graduates. Misrepresentation includes any false, erroneous or misleading statement, or a statement that has the likelihood or tendency to mislead or confuse. A substantial misrepresentation is one on which the person to whom it was made can reasonably be expected to rely, or has reasonably relied, to that person’s detriment. Students, prospective students and others who believe they have experienced misrepresentation as described by this policy should contact the dean of students, the vice president for finance and administration, or other appropriate official and report the misrepresentation, seeking help to rectify the matter.
