Residence Life Policies
Personal
Items
Earlham College is not responsible for stolen or
damaged personal belongings. This includes items in residence rooms,
assigned
lockers and storage areas. Residents are encouraged to keep their
door locked at all times to prevent problems. Students are encouraged
to check their parents’ homeowners’ insurance or
renters’ insurance for insurance coverage of personal property.
Pets
Only small fish and registered, water dependent,
non-poisonous amphibians* in tanks of twenty gallons or less, are
permitted
in residence halls and College-owned houses. Pets are not allowed
in dining areas or academic buildings. Individuals with pets
who fail to observe this policy will be fined $50 and asked to
remove their pet from campus within twenty-four hours. Upon follow-up,
if the individual has failed to remove the pet, a $100 fine will
be levied. Third time offenders will be referred to a judicial
hearing. Dogs may not be left unattended or be without owner
supervision at any time.
*Individuals seeking permission to have water-dependent
amphibians as pets must obtain permission through their Area Director.
Policy on Room Access and Search
Earlham College has a general regard for the personal
privacy of individual students. If the need for room access arises,
the student
is expected to be open to communication and cooperation with
any administrative official of the College. If the individual
student
feels his or her rights have been violated in this effort, the
student has the right and obligation to bring the matter to the
attention of the Dean of Student Development or the President.
Earlham College has the right to enter or search
individual student rooms for maintenance, suspected possession
of firearms, immediate
threat of harm to individual community members, infraction
of federal, state, and local law, and confrontation and dialogue
regarding
violation of College policies. In the event the individual
student(s)
does not cooperate with officials, Earlham College has the
right to enter or search any room for possession of dangerous
or illegal
objects. The administrative official is accountable for his
or her actions.
