Regulations - Discipline, Complaints and Confidentiality
Behaviour in Hall
The Hall is a community of adults and an adult standard of behaviour is expected of residents and their guests at all times. Where behaviour falls below this standard, the Warden will normally issue a warning. In cases of more serious misconduct further disciplinary measures, up to and including dismissal from Hall, will be enforced. In such cases the resident’s college will also be informed of the matter. The full disciplinary procedure is given in the Intercollegiate Halls of Residence Regulations.
Harassment
International Hall, as part of the University of London, is opposed to any form of unfair discrimination or personal harassment including, but not limited to, that based on race, sex or sexual orientation. Harassment of one member of the University community by another is wholly unacceptable and can be grounds for expulsion from Hall and further disciplinary action, including reference to the college and/or the police. Any incidents of personal harassment should be reported to the Warden or Bursar as soon as possible.
Residents’ Complaints
Complaints about any aspect of Hall life or Hall staff will normally be dealt with by the Bursar’s Office or Warden. However, there is a formal procedure for more serious complaints, or those involving the Bursar or Warden, and this can be obtained from the Bursar’s Office or the office of the Director of Staff and Student Services, to whom the senior Hall staff report.
Confidentiality
In compliance with the Data Protection Act, all residents may view the computer and written records that the Hall keeps on them, by appointment with the Bursar’s Office. The Hall will not divulge information to a third party without the resident’s permission except in an emergency, when permission cannot be easily obtained and the Hall has good reason to believe that not to do so would put the resident at risk. The Hall will not give out room or extension numbers to anyone, so residents must ensure that they inform their friends and relations.
However, the Warden reserves the right to discuss the matter with the appropriate college authorities if a resident’s behaviour, health, non-attendance, actual student status or non-payment of fees causes serious concern.
