Shippensburg — The Shippensburg University Council of Trustees voted unanimously in favor of making minor changes to the Student Code and Conduct Process.
Roger Serr, the vice president for student affairs, said the changes were made in order for the university to better respond to cases of sexual assault.
“Victims of sexual assault or rape will be granted amnesty within the Student Code and Conduct Process for violating rules related to the use of drugs and/or alcohol,” is one of the recent additions to the manual.
The draft will be sent to the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors for further assessment.
