Students share responsibility with the faculty and administration for establishing and maintaining standards of behavior that enhance learning and growth for the entire community. Students are expected to become familiar with the content of the Student Handbook and review the Student Conduct Code, available online for Russell Sage and Sage College of Albany, as well as in the Dean of Students offices on both campuses. The handbooks for each College contain additional information regarding student life, extracurricular activities, and academic policies.
The Sage Colleges recognize the value of participation in and observance of religious obligations and practices by individual students. No student will be penalized because a religious observance prevents participation in any course requirement. An opportunity will be provided for each student to make any requirement missed for an absence due to religious observance. A student who intends to be absent from classes for a religious observance must notify each instructor in advance and make arrangements to cover missed course materials and to complete the course requirement(s) missed. The College reserves the right to confirm the existence of the observance through an interfaith calendar.
The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 require each educational institution, as a condition of receiving funds or any form of financial assistance under any federal program, to certify that it has adopted and implemented a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of alcohol or illicit drugs by students and employees.
The Sage Colleges Alcohol and other Drug Prevention Program is designed to:
In compliance with these standards, the College must disseminate its Alcohol and other Drug Policies in writing to all students and employees, on a yearly basis. The College will also conduct a biennial review of its program to determine its effectiveness, implement needed changes, and ensure that disciplinary sanctions are consistently enforced.
Each member of the community is responsible for contributing actively to and sustaining a healthy campus environment. Community members are expected to be law-abiding, knowledgeable and thoughtful about decisions regarding alcohol consumption. The College provides information about alcohol use and abuse and urges all community members to become informed consumers or non-consumers.
The College encourages those with concerns about their own or others' possible difficulties with alcohol and/or drugs to seek confidential and private assistance on or off campus. Such assistance is available through the Wellness Center, the Residence Life or Dean of Students Office for each College, or the Human Resources Office.
Laws relating to alcohol and drugs exist at all levels of government. As a general rule, federal and state laws prohibit the manufacture, sale, use or possession of illegal drugs, also known as controlled substances. State and local laws are used to regulate behavior related to alcohol. The primary laws regulating behavior related to controlled substances are Title 21 of the U.S. Code and the New York Penal Law. Both prohibit the manufacture, sale, use or possession of controlled substances. Both laws also provide penalties for violation of their provisions. Penalties vary in severity, according to many factors such as:
Those penalties may include any of the following or combinations of the following:
Both laws classify crimes as either felonies or misdemeanors. Felonies are those crimes that are punishable by more than one year in prison. Misdemeanors are those crimes that are punishable by less than one year in jail. The New York Penal Law has a third classification, called violations, which are not considered to be crimes and which are punishable by no more than 15 days in jail and fines of no more than $100.
Offenses against the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Law are violations and generally punishable by fines of no more than $100, and/or imprisonment of no more than 15 days. Some offenses carry more severe penalties for repeat offenders and some allow the imposition of a community service requirement/and/or an alcohol education program.
Sec. 65 provides that no person shall sell, deliver or give away, or cause or permit or procure to be sold, delivered, or given any alcoholic beverages to any person, actually or apparently, under the age of 21 years; any visibly intoxicated person; or any habitual drunkard known to be such to the person authorized to dispense any alcoholic beverages.
Sec. 65-a prohibits the misrepresentation of age of a person under the age of 21 for the purpose of inducing the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Sec. 65-b prohibits the purchase or attempted purchase of alcoholic beverages through fraudulent means by a person under the age of 21.
Sec. 65-c prohibits the possession with intent to consume of an alcoholic beverage by a person under the age of 21.
Offenses against the Vehicle and Traffic Law may be violations, misdemeanors or felonies, depending generally on the blood alcohol content of the offender or previous convictions. Penalties may include fines, probation, imprisonment, community service, loss of driving privileges and alcohol awareness programs. Be aware that loss of driving privileges may occur prior to a finding of guilt. Also, be aware that automobile crashes that involve an intoxicated operator causing injury or death may result in assault or homicide charges against the operator.
Sec. 1192 prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle while:
Sec. 1192-a prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle by a person under 21 years of age after having consumed alcoholic beverages.
Sec. 1227 prohibits the consumption of alcoholic beverages or the possession of an open container containing an alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle.
The New York State Public Health Law regulates behavior considered to be harmful in many areas, such as communicable diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, smoking and drugs. Specifically, Article 3300, also known as the New York State Controlled Substance Act, prohibits the manufacture, sale, or possession of the same drugs as prohibited by the Penal Law. Additional prohibitions of the Public Health Law include:
Sec. 3304.2 prohibits possession of a New York State prescription except as lawfully written by a physician, etc.
Sec. 3345 prohibits the possession of a prescription drug outside the container in which it was originally dispensed.
Sec. 3380 prohibits the use, possession or sale of hazardous inhalants such as glue, cement, gasoline or nitrite compound for the purpose of causing intoxication, inebriation, excitement, etc.
Sec. 3381 prohibits the possession or sale of a hypodermic needle or syringe except pursuant to a lawful prescription.
Sec. 3382 prohibits the growing of a plant of the genus cannabis, or the failure to destroy such a growing plant on one's property.
Sec. 3383 prohibits the manufacture, sale or possession of any substance that appears, either by markings or packaging, to be a controlled substance that, in fact, is not a controlled substance.
Sec. 3397 prohibits persons from obtaining or attempting to obtain a controlled substance, a prescription for a controlled substance or an official prescription form by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or subterfuge.
Most crimes involving the unlawful possession and distribution of drugs are defined under the New York Penal Law, which contains exhaustive lists of various controlled substances, specific types of offenses, and sanctions ranging from a fine or not more than $100 to imprisonment for life.
Sec. 120.05.5, assault in the second degree, prohibits the administration to another, without his consent, of a drug, substance or preparation capable of causing stupor, unconsciousness or other physical impairment or injury.
Sec. 130.00.6 provides that administration of a narcotic or intoxicating substance to another, without their consent, that causes them to become mentally incapacitated, renders the administrator guilty of rape, sodomy or sexual abuse upon the requisite sexual activity. In more simple terms, sexual conduct following the unwitting consumption of so called "date rape" drugs or "spiked" drinks makes those who administered the drug guilty of rape, sodomy or sexual abuse.
Sec. 170.05, forgery in the third degree, prohibits the making, completing or altering of a written instrument with intent to defraud, deceive or injure another. This section can be used to charge a person who alters a driver 's license or other official form of identification for the purpose of obtaining alcoholic beverages.
Sec. 170.20, criminal possession of a forged instrument, prohibits the possession of a written instrument as described above, regardless of who made, completed or altered it.
The Sage Colleges abide by federal and state laws prohibiting the possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs or narcotics and will not interfere with the legal prosecution of any member of the College community who violates these laws.
Any student judged guilty of illegal drug use on College property will be subject to immediate disciplinary action, which may involve suspension or dismissal. This action will be taken independently of any action that might be taken by municipal, state, or federal agencies.
The Sage Colleges will impose disciplinary sanctions on students and employees who violate the aforementioned standards of conduct. Among the sanctions which may be imposed on students are: warning, fine, parental notification, mandated alcohol/drug assessment, alcohol education, probation, community service, suspension, expulsion, or referral for prosecution. Among the sanctions which may be imposed on employees are: verbal warning, written reprimand, suspension with or without pay, termination or referral for prosecution.
Students and employees should be aware of the health risks associated with the use and abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs. Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including domestic violence, child abuse, and rape. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants to the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects described.
Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can lead to permanent damage of vital organs such as the brain and the liver.
Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other individuals of developing problems with alcohol.
Drugs interfere with the brain's ability to take in, sort and synthesize information. They distort perception, which can lead users to harm themselves or others. Drug use also affects sensation and impairs memory. In addition to these general effects, specific health risks including substance dependence and death are associated with particular categories of controlled substances.
Students and employees of The Sage Colleges who have concerns about alcohol and/or drugs for themselves or others, can contact any number of resources on campus and in the community for confidential help.

1. Enforcement of the Sage Colleges Tobacco Free policy shall be the responsibility of the entire Sage community. Students, faculty, staff and administrators are expected to fairly, politely and firmly engage in peer enforcement, and when required, report violations of the policy to supervisors. Enforcement of the policy be in a manner of "progressive discipline."
2. For the purpose of this policy, "Supervisors" shall mean: (i) appropriate Dean of Students for students; (ii) immediate supervisor for staff and administrators; (iii) department chair or academic Dean for faculty members.
3. Any student or employee of the Sage Colleges who observes or otherwise suspects that another person in using tobacco products on any property or in any vehicle owned or leased by Sage shall promptly, firmly and politely advise that person of the tobacco free policy. If the person is a member of the Sage community and refuses to comply, the immediate supervisor of the offending party should be immediately notified.
4. If the offending person is not a member of the Sage community and refuses to comply, Public Safety should be contacted to escort the offending person off campus.
5. Any student or employee of the Sage Colleges who observes or otherwise suspects that another person is using tobacco or tobacco products on any property or in any vehicle owned or leased by Sage and who has been advised of the policy for a previous violation, shall immediately notify the supervisor of the offending party.

Any subsequent disciplinary action would be determined according to the appropriate student/employee/faculty handbook or union contract. The supervisor shall have the offender sign and return one copy of the reprimand, retain one copy for self, and forward the third copy to Human Resources.
8. Subsequent violations of the policy by the same person shall result in a level of discipline that: (i) convinces the offending party to comply with the Tobacco Free policy, and (ii) demonstrates to the Sage community the importance of compliance with the Tobacco Free policy.
*Anyone organizing an event that brings outsiders to campus is responsible for communicating this policy to its attendees. Visitors to campus in violation of this policy will be informed of the policy and if they refuse to comply will be removed from campus.*
As we work towards the goal of keeping the Sage campuses free of tobacco litter, please be respectful of the surrounding communities and private properties located in proximity of our campuses.

Questions or concerns regarding the scope and application of The Sage Colleges nondiscrimination against individuals with disabilities should be directed to the Sage Colleges Section 504 Compliance Officer, Katherine Norman, Director of Disability Services, Third Floor of the Albany Library and Hart Hall, the Sage Colleges 518-292-8624, 518-244-2208. Questions or concerns regarding the scope and application of the remainder of the Sage Colleges nondiscrimination policy should be directed to the Sage Colleges Title IX Coordinator, Trish Cellemme, Vice President for Student Life, KCC 145, 518-292-1710 and Affirmative Action Officer, Caryn Kent, Director of Human Resources, Plum III, the Sage Colleges, 518-244-2391.
The Sage Colleges is committed to providing a work and learning environment that is free from discrimination and harassment by anyone based on an individual's race, color, gender identity, characteristics and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, marital status, military or veteran status, physical or mental disability, domestic violence status, genetic predisposition and carrier status, previous convictions or arrests as or based on the fact that the individual has engaged in activity protected by federal or state laws prohibiting discrimination. Prohibited harassment of any sort, whether verbal, physical or visual, will not be tolerated.
Matters covered under these procedures in the employment relationship include, but are not limited to, recruitment, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training. Matters covered in the academic setting include, but are not limited to, admission, housing, allocation of financial aid, use of college facilities, and the assignment of grades.
Prohibited harassment is a form of discrimination. In general, it can consist of words, signs, jokes, pranks, intimidation, or physical acts of violence based on the protected characteristics of an employee or student, which alters the work or educational environment of that employee or student. While the most well-known type of prohibited harassment is sexual harassment, applicable laws and/or this policy also prohibit harassment based on race, color, gender identity, characteristics and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, marital status, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, domestic violence victim status, genetic predisposition and carrier status, or previous convictions or arrests as specified by law. Retaliatory harassment resulting from the fact an individual has engaged in protected activity (i.e., opposition to prohibited discrimination or participation in a statutory complaint process) is also prohibited. This prohibition applies to anyone on the Sage Colleges campuses. The Sage Colleges are committed to preventing and correcting all such harassment, not just harassment which is severe or pervasive enough to provide the basis for a claim under federal or state law.
Sexual harassment may involve the exploitation of an unequal power relationship (for example, between employee and supervisor or between a student and teacher), or may occur between student peers or employees of equal rank. At the Sage Colleges, sexual harassment also constitutes unprofessional conduct which compromises the Colleges' commitment to the pursuit of learning. The Sage Colleges will not tolerate any form of sexual harassment.
Harassment on the basis of sex is discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and the New York Human Rights Law. Illegal sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome: sexual advances; flirtation; propositions; verbal remarks of a sexual nature (whether directed to an individual or a group); vulgar language; sexually explicit, offensive, or gender-based jokes and comments; sexual or gender-based comments about an individual or an individual's appearance; sexually suggestive visual displays, such as cartoons, posters or calendars; physical contact or physical assault. Sexual harassment is not limited by the gender of either party. Nor is it limited to supervisor-subordinate or teacher-student relationships.
Unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature violates the law when it creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work or educational environment, and/or where acceptance or rejection of unwelcome sexual advances is the basis for making an academic or a personnel decision. However, this policy prohibits all forms of sexual harassment, regardless of whether the harassment may give rise to a legal claim.
Prohibited harassment on the basis of race, color, gender identity, characteristics and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, marital status, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, domestic violence victim status, genetic predisposition and carrier status, or previous convictions or arrest as specified by law, or any other protected basis, includes behavior similar to sexual harassment, such as: verbal conduct (including threats, epithets, derogatory comments or slurs), visual conduct (such as derogatory posters, photographs, cartoons, drawings, or gestures), and physical conduct (such as assault, unwanted touching, or blocking normal movement). The Sage Colleges will not tolerate any such harassment.
Each student and employee of the Sage Colleges has an obligation to report discrimination and prohibited harassment to an appropriate College official. Any student who believes he or she is the victim of discrimination or prohibited harassment should report it to the Compliance Officer with whom he or she feels most comforta. The identities of these individuals are provided at the end of this policy. If for some reason you do not feel comfortable reporting discrimination or prohibited harassment to one of those individuals, you may also report it to any senior officer (see Section 1.4).
All students and employees of the Sage Colleges are responsible for keeping our environment free from discrimination or prohibited harassment. For that reason, if you observe or otherwise learn of conduct which may constitute discrimination or prohibited harassment, even if you are not the victim of that conduct, you must report the conduct to any Compliance Office.
When the College becomes aware that discrimination or prohibited harassment may exist, it is obligated by law to take prompt and appropriate action. Failure to do so is considered a violation of the Sage Colleges Discrimination/Harassment Complaint Policy & Procedure.
Once a complaint of discrimination or prohibited harassment has been made either in writing or orally, or observed discrimination or harassment has been reported, the Director of Human Resources (or his or her designee) will make an initial assessment regarding the validity of the complaint. Unless the complaint is determined to be invalid (e.g., erroneous information, mistaken identity, etc.), the Director of Human Resources (or his or her designee) shall promptly conduct a complete, thorough, and impartial investigation. If the Director of Human Resources (or his or her designee) is involved in the alleged discrimination or harassment or otherwise unable to conduct the investigation, another person will be designated by the College President to conduct the investigation. If it would be inappropriate for the Director of Human Resources or President to designate a person to conduct the investigation, then the Chair of the Board of Trustees will so designate. In addition, while the investigation is being conducted, appropriate intermediate steps to end the discrimination and/or harassment may be taken.
The time necessary to complete an investigation will vary depending upon the facts of a particular case. In most cases, investigations will be completed within seven to ten business days of receipt of a complaint. After completing the investigation, both the complaint and the individual alleged to have engaged in discrimination and/or harassment will be informed of the conclusions reached by the investigator.
The Sage Colleges will, to the extent possible, maintain confidentiality with respect to complaints of discrimination and prohibited harassment. However, there is no such thing as an unofficial complaint of discrimination or harassment. Once the College or its supervisors become aware of a complaint, the College is required by law to take action consistent with this policy. These actions may require disclosure of the allegations to the extent necessary to conduct a complete and thorough investigation.
If the investigation reveals that discrimination and/or p harassment did occur, the College will take all appropriate measures necessary to end the discrimination and/or harassment, prevent future discrimination and harassment, and correct any personnel or academic decisions made which are related to the discrimination/harassment.
The Sage Colleges will not permit retaliation of any kind against anyone who opposes a discriminatory practice, makes a good faith complaint about harassment and/or discrimination, or furnishes information or participates in any manner in an investigation of such a complaint. Retaliation includes any conduct, whether or not workplace or employment related, directed at someone because he or she made a complaint of discrimination or participated in such an investigation, which might deter a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of harassment or discrimination.
Retaliation is unlawful and will not be tolerated. Any individual found to have engaged in retaliation will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including, termination of employment.
Any student or employee who feels as though someone has subjected him or her to retaliation as a result of a complaint or participation into the investigation of a complaint should contact a Compliance Officer immediately.
The Sage Colleges takes complaints of discrimination and prohibited harassment and retaliation with the greatest seriousness. For that reason, any individual who is found to have engaged in conduct which violates this policy will be subject to discipline. That discipline may take a variety of forms, depending upon the circumstances of a particular case, and may include termination of employment for faculty and staff. For students, discipline may include dismissal from the Sage Colleges.
Engaging in discrimination, prohibited harassment, or retaliation may also lead to civil and/or criminal action under state or federal law. Any employee who, in violation of the College's policy, engages in discrimination, prohibited harassment or retaliation, is acting outside the scope of his/her employment and may be personally liable for such actions and their consequences. In the event legal proceedings are commenced against an employee, the College will not provide legal, financial, or other assistance.
In addition to Trish Cellemme, the Designated Campus Compliance Officer, the Sage Colleges has appointed certain individuals as Compliance Officers. The Compliance Officers are responsible for receiving complaints of discrimination and harassment and for assisting in the resolution of those complaints. In addition, Compliance Officers are responsible for being proactive in creating an atmosphere which will inhibit discrimination or harassment. Complaints of harassment and/or discrimination should be directed to the following persons:
If for some reason you are not comfortable directing your complaint to the individual(s) designated below, make your complaint to any senior officer.
The Sage Colleges educate their student populations about sexual assault through a mandatory orientation program for all first-year students that promotes the awareness and prevention of rape, acquaintance rape, and other forcible and non-forcible sex offenses, as well as other related behavior such as intimate partner violence and stalking. The University Heights Association's Office of Public Safety also makes training and educational programming on those topics available to student and staff groups upon request. Literature on the topics is also available in the Student Services Offices, the Dean of Students Offices, and the Wellness Centers.
A non-forcible sex offense is defined as unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse and includes incest and statutory rape.
Under the New York State Penal Law, a specific charge is determined by the circumstances of the behavior, such as age of the victim or reason for the lack of consent. Please see NYS Penal Law Sec. 130 for a more complete discussion of "lack of consent."
If you are the victim of a sexual offense at The Sage Colleges, or in the University Heights College Suites, you should follow the following procedures:
Second, you may report it to UHA Public Safety. This may trigger the judicial process of The Sage Colleges, which may result in the removal of the offender from the campus. It also assists The Sage Colleges in complying with Federal requirements for reporting offenses occurring on campus. You may report incidents of sexual offenses anonymously to UHA Public Safety, preserving your privacy and only reporting the particulars of the incident.
Third, you may also report the incident to any official of The Sage Colleges. Be aware that certain Sag college officials, with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including but not limited to , student housing, student discipline and campus judicial proceedings, may be required by law to disclose the occurrence of the event.
If you choose to report the incident, be aware that the location of the offense, your clothing, and your person may be considered a "crime scene," and as such, a source of evidence. The location of the incident should be safe guarded and the victim should avoid washing, douching, using the toilet or changing clothes prior to a medical/legal exam.
The Sage Colleges encourage the victims of sexual offenses to report the incident, in any of the manners described above.
Reporting an incident does not:
Reporting the incident does:
The Sage Colleges recommend that you seek the assistance of trained professionals in the aftermath of a sexual offense. Our Wellness Centers, the Albany County Crime Victim and Sexual Violence Center, the Rensselaer County Sexual Assault and Crime Victims Program and Equinox, Inc. are all providers of these helpful services.
The Sage Colleges' disciplinary proceedings are detailed in the Student Handbook. It provides, in part, that the victim and the accused have the right to the assistance of an advisor who is not an attorney, have the right to testify on their own behalf and provide witnesses on their behalf, to cross-examine witnesses, and to be informed of the outcome of the disciplinary process. A student found guilty of a sexual offense may be suspended or expelled from The Sage Colleges.
The Sage Colleges will change the housing and/or academic circumstances after an alleged sexual assault if requested by the victim and such changes can be reasonably made.
The federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act enacted in 2000 went into effect October 28, 2002. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders required to register in a State to provide notice, as required under state law, of each institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student. The New York State sex offender registry may be accessed at www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/index.htm.
In addition, the City of Albany maintains a sex offender registry that may be accessed by "Entities of Vulnerable Population." The University Heights Association's Office of Public Safety (which provides Public Safety services for Sage College of Albany) has been declared such an entity and the registry may be accessed through the Director of Public Safety.
The Sage Colleges is committed to providing equal educational opportunity and full participation for students with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. A student seeking academic adjustments under the Americans with Disabilities Act must register and provide current documentation (within the past 3 years of the current date or as prevailing scientific data warrants) by a licensed professional to the Director of Disabilities Services. Any student in need of classroom assistance or modification under the Americans with Disabilities Act must inform the instructor of the needed adjustment by first obtaining the necessary accommodation letters from the Director of Disabilities Services in order for reasonable accommodations to be provided. It is recommended that students do so at the onset of classes as reasonable prior notice needs to be given. The Director of Disabilities Services can be contacted in Troy/Hart Hall at 65 First Street Troy NY 12180 (518) 244-2272 or in Albany/3r floor Library at 140 New Scotland Avenue, Albany NY 12208 (518) 292-1793.
Colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance must not discriminate in the recruitment, admission, or treatment of students. Students with documented disabilities may request modifications, accommodations, or auxiliary aids, which will enable them to participate in and benefit from all postsecondary educational programs and activities.
The Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 is the civil rights guarantee for persons with disabilities in the United States. It provides protection from discrimination for individuals on the basis of disability. The Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 extends civil rights protections for people with disabilities to employment in the public and private sectors, transportation, public accommodations, services provided by state and local government and telecommunication relay services.
The Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 upholds and extends the standards for compliance set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to employment practices, communications, and all policies, procedures, and practices that impact on the treatment of students with disabilities. Employment issues for all institutions are covered under Title I. For all activities, public institutions are covered under Title II; private institutions are covered under Title III.
Any student with a documented disability is eligible to receive reasonable accommodations. The purpose of accommodations or modifications is to reduce or eliminate any disadvantages that may exist because of an individual's disability. The law does not require the College to waive specific courses or academic requirements considered essential to a particular program or degree. Rather, the College is mandated to modify existing requirements on a case by case basis in order to ensure that individuals are not discriminated against on the basis of their disability. Students wanting to access such services must identify themselves and provide appropriate verification of their disability to the Director of Disabilities Services. Eligibility for reasonable and appropriate accommodations will be determined on an individual basis.
Appropriate documentation will assist the student and the College in determining reasonable accommodations as stipulated under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other pertinent state and federal regulations.
Students requesting accommodations must meet with the Director of Disabilities Services and present appropriate documentation prior to receiving services. Documentation must be current (in most cases within three years of the current date or as prevailing scientific knowledge warrants) and must be submitted by a qualified practitioner. This documentation must be a comprehensive assessment including recommendations for accommodations. Students must present evidence of a clinical interview by a qualified professional, their complete medical and educational history, evidence of a diagnosis that substantially limits one or more of the major life functions, and recommended reasonable accommodations.
It is the responsibility of the student requesting accommodations to do so and present documentation in a timely manner prior to the beginning of each academic semester.
To access services, students must refer themselves to the Director of Disabilities Services and provide adequate documentation from a licensed professional to the Disabilities Services Office. Since the purpose of the documentation is to assist the student and the College in determining reasonable accommodations (e.g., extended test time, reduced course load, auxiliary aids, etc.), these guidelines must be followed to assure that the diagnostic evaluation report is appropriate for verifying accommodation needs. Specific procedures need to be followed in order to obtain reasonable and appropriate accommodations, academic adjustments and /or auxiliary aids, any deviation from the process may slow down the process or accommodations may not be granted.
Students must meet with the Director of Disabilities Services with current documentation (in most cases within three years of current date or as prevailing scientific knowledge warrants) from a licensed professional to request services. Accommodation letters will be developed at this time.
Students must meet with the faculty member to review the accommodation letters and discuss accommodations. It is best to do this review after class or to set up an appointment with the faculty member. The student decides whether to disclose his/her disability to the professor or whether to share any pertinent information with them. Students are not required to identify their disability, although this information is often helpful to the professor. The student may want to explain how his/her disability may affect coursework in general; again this is not required. After the review of the accommodation letter, the faculty member and student both sign the accommodation letter.
Students should then review the accommodations. For testing accommodations, it is important to check in again with the professor at least one week before the exam date as a reminder and to be sure both parties have the same understanding of what is to occur. Meeting with the professor throughout the semester is necessary to discuss your accommodation needs.
If a disagreement arises concerning specific accommodation requests, a student should immediately inform the Director of Disabilities Services. If there is a conflict with the Director of Disabilities Services, then the Associate Vice President for Student Life may be notified to assist in the resolution process.
Academic requirements must be modified, on a case by case basis, to afford qualified handicapped students and applicants an equal education opportunity. For example, modification may include changes in the length of time permitted for completion of degree requirements. However, academic requirements that the recipient can demonstrate are essential will not be regarded as discriminatory. A recipient may not impose upon qualified handicapped persons rules that have the effect of limiting their participation in the recipient's education program or activity; for example, prohibiting tape recorders in classrooms or guide dogs in campus buildings. Qualified handicapped persons with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills must be provided auxiliary aids, such as taped texts, interpreters, readers, and classroom equipment adapted for persons with manual impairments. Recipients can usually meet this obligation by assisting students to obtain auxiliary aids through existing resources, such as state vocation rehabilitation agencies and private charitable organizations. In those circumstances where the recipient institution must provide the educational auxiliary aid, the institution has flexibility in choosing the effective methods by which the aids will be supplied. So long as no handicapped person is excluded from a program because of the lack of an appropriate aid, the recipient need not have all available aids on hand at all times.
A student who wishes to request academic adjustments under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 should do so by writing to the Director of Disabilities Services. The Sage Colleges reserves the right to require medical, psychological, neurological, or psycho educational verification of the handicap causing the student to seek adjustments of academic conditions. Notification of any request for academic accommodations should be sent to the Director of Disabilities Services immediately. The Director will notify the faculty member(s) of the request; discuss options, if any, to meet the request; agree on the acceptable adjustments; and notify the student seeking the accommodations within 10 working days. If an agreement cannot be reached, the Dean of the College will be notified for a meeting with all parties. The Director of Disabilities Services shall file a final report of the discussion and resolutions no later than five working days after the agreement with all parties has been reached.
Any member of The Sage Colleges community, including faculty, administrators, staff, and students, who has any grievance in relation to the law or any acts prohibited by the law may file a written complaint within 30 working days of the occurrence of the alleged action. The complaint should be filed with the Director of Disabilities Services as the person designated to coordinate the efforts of the College to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under the law. The written complaint should explain:
These are suggestions, not requirements. Within five working days, the Director of Disabilities Services shall acknowledge receipt of the complaint and assign an individual to investigate the complaint. The individual investigating the complaint shall submit a written report to the Director with a copy to the complainant within 10 working days from the date assigned. The complainant shall have 10 working days from receipt of the investigation report to contact the Director to support or refute information contained in the investigation report. The Director of Disabilities Services will review the report and related material, and submit a written recommendation to the College President within five working days after the time period given the complainant to respond. A copy of this recommendation shall be sent to the complainant and the investigator. The President, as chief executive officer of the institution, shall make disposition of the complaint or refer it for the established grievance procedures of The Sage Colleges.
Anyone who believes there has been an act of discrimination on the basis of handicap in violation of Section 504 against any person or group in a program receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education, may file a written complaint with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within 180 days of the alleged discrimination (unless the time for filing is extended for good cause by the regional civil rights director), and send it to the regional office that serves the state in which the discrimination allegedly occurred:
Office for Civil Rights, New York Office
U.S. Department of Education
75 Park Place, 14th Floor
New York, NY 10007-2146 (212) 637-6466

The Sage Colleges will provide information regarding graduation and persistence rates, in accordance with provision of the federal Student Right to Know Law. The information is available from the Office of the Registrar. In addition, The Sage Colleges publishes required information under the Campus Security Act in a safety and security brochure and posts the information on the Office of Public Safety web page.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment) passed in 1974 regulates the procedures for handling student records. According to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Act was designed to ensure that students and parents (in cases where the student is considered a dependent) would have specific educational records made accessible for reasons of inspection and correction and to restrict the release of most records so as not to violate their privacy and confidentiality when student consent is lacking.
According to the Act, the following records are not accessible:
The College is permitted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment) to make directory information about students available to the public. Directory information includes: the student's name, address, telephone listing, e-mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height (for members of athletic teams), dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency attended.
If a student would prefer that this information not be made public, the student may inform the College of this at any point during his or her academic career. Forms to withhold this information from the public are available at the Registrar's Office or online.
The following student records are available for inspection at the specified locations:
* The entire content will not be released, only the data directly related to the individual requesting access.
The Act specifies that a college official has 45 days to respond to a student's request to view their records. The Sage Colleges will initially respond to a request by setting up an appointment with the student within the 45 day period. Ideally, the student will be able to access the records within a couple of weeks.
All records must be reviewed in the presence of a College official. The student may be asked to show proper identification to the college official and sign a permit form. Students may request a copy of their records in most cases, but the College is entitled to charge for copies. Copies cannot be made of records when a "hold" status exists or when the names of other students or information related to other students are involved (i.e., restricted records such as a grade list).
If a student wishes to challenge any part of a record, it may be done informally by addressing the issue with the administrator in charge of the record in question. If an agreement cannot be reached, the student should request a hearing with the Dean of the College. If the student still believes that his or her rights are being violated after following the above procedure, an investigation can be requested by the Review Board of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202. An investigation could lead to a hearing.
Each individual record will include the names of those persons not employed by the College who request or obtain access to a student record. The legitimate interest of the person making the request will also be recorded. The College permits third parties to gain access to students' records when requests come from:
Student records, except for the permanent transcript and certification of completion required for state licensure in some academic programs, are kept for a period of seven years from the date of graduation or last attendance. The permanent transcript is maintained "forever" in the Office of the Registrar. The certification of completion, if required for licensure, is maintained in the academic program office.

Water Pressure Problems in Los Lunas
Los Lunas is not an exception from the world. Water Pressure problem afflict the residents here every alternate day. A water pressure problem can arise out of many feasible reasons:
Corrosion – If the pipes in your house are too old, they may have gotten to be corroded, limiting the water stream.
Stop Tap – A part of the way shut stop tap inside your home could be the reason for some water-pressure problem.
Spills – Leaks from pipes or fittings will lessen the water pressure.
Disruptive water pressure inside a home can lead to much inconvenience. Thus corrective measures are mandatory and every home owner should hire services in regular intervals to fix such issues.
Enchanted Waters is equipped with tools, technology and experience making it one of the most sought after services in Los Lunas for fixing water pressure problems.

The executor-class only has lance batteries while the Repulsive has weapon batteries with firepower to match/exceed the Retribution-class battleship though a bit shorter range. The Repulsive does have dorsal lances, but they only have the firepower equal to half a full broadside of the Executor. They can be upgraded to have superior range to most Imperials but they start with only average range.
That isn't what I've heard.
Admittedly Chaos Grand cruisers are a little foggy for me, but I distinctly remember hearing that the Executor has waepons batteries of some form.
Dunno about the TT though.
I could understand a focus on the Lances on the Exexutor, being extended-range heavy lances, but (at least in Imperial service) it was a heavy brawler.
Repulsive is an enigma to me.
Powerful, well armoured, but longer range than anything Imperial: so I classed it as a lance boat (more because of the implied range than any actual lance supremacy).

Los Angeles: Amazing Tinga Tacos with a Smile at Tacos Clarita
Should you find yourself pitching along in El Sereno, a hilly eastern suburb of downtown Los Angeles that's sandwiched between Alhambra's Chinese food takeover and the mansions of South Pasadena, you'll probably end up talking to Clarita Trujillo. It seems that the whole neighborhood knows her, and she makes quick friends of every stranger that crosses her patch along Huntington Drive.
You could say that Trujillo is perfectly built for this sort of bold socializationsmall and elderly, but whip-smart, with flashy lipstick and a fast smilebut that would deny her true passion: cooking. She's the name behind Clarita's Restaurant, better known as Tacos Clarita, a bright yellow taqueria borne from decades spent in a Mexico City kitchen.
Trujillo may not be a household name anymore, but she certainly enjoyed a dose of small fame after her cooking caught the attention of an L.A.-based Spanish language morning show a few years back. And while patrons used to flock to the Boyle Heights version of Clarita's, a leasing issue forced the restaurant to close up shop in 2010, according to an L.A. Times article on Trujillo from 2011.
Now, Clarita's is up and running again in El Sereno, a few miles from the original location, but often with a fraction of the customers. Still, Trujillo floats around the sparse dining area and outside, haranguing passersby into trying a tamale or coming in for a sip of horchata. Truth be told, a lot of folks walk on without taking Trujillo up on her offers, but they're missing out. Tacos Clarita is serving up some of the tastiest handcrafted Mexico City tacos you'll find in the area.
First, those tamales that Trujillo likes to offer up to anyone on the sidewalk. They come thick with pressed masa and stuffed with either pork, stewed chicken, cheese and jalapeños or a chocolate-y mole concoction that can be a bit overwhelming. They're moist enough, but aren't bursting with flavor from inside their wrapped corn husk. Still, a spoonful of the pale salsa roja easily livens up the party. Similarly, the quesadillas are straightforward interpretations of a longtime classic, but by themselves aren't enough to pull you in off the street. The flor de calabaza (squash blossom flower) quesadillas come warm and exceptionally cheesy, with onions and those wilted calabaza bits that give a nice textural contrast and punch of earthiness, with just the faintest touch of caramelized sweetness.
For all of her smiling proclamations, Clarita Trujillo really ought to be talking up the tacos. Full of simmered meats and laid open on a bed of perfectly plancha'd tortillas, it's the tacos that showcase Clarita Trujillo's true passion. The tinga is her specialty, a fully realized mound of shredded beef that arrives smoky and succulent, mixed with little bites of translucent onion. It's juicy and spicy and savory, even without the extra cilantro, white onions, and splash of salsa.
And as good as that beef is, the tortilla might be even better. Thickly patted and wonderfully griddled, each masa round arrives with deep brown blisters and crisped edges. It's airy and soft in the middle, almost like a thin puff bread, with a dash of salt and lime for flavoring. Other taquerias wish they patted up tortillas this tasty.
You'll also find big piles of carnitas on the menu. Without the crispy, fatty fried edges, these aren't pure perfection, but the tacos are served chunky and salty, with a tenderness that works well with a surprisingly complex salsa verde. Piles of shredded chicken are stewed in juices for hours and come drenched in a chile-tomato sauce, imparting deep satisfaction with each bite. You won't need salsa for a taco like this, just an open mouth and a few napkins.
The al pastor is a fun take on a non-trompo version, where the pork is marinated and chopped into workable bites alongside lots of onion and citrus. Once fully cooked, the meat is given a sear on the griddle to create some of that same smokiness and texture you'd find at a true pastor spit around town. If anything, Clarita's version is juicier than your regular street al pastor, owing to its time in the marinade, instead of slowly spinning in the open air.
In everything at Tacos Clarita, you can feel a sense of personality. Far from a dingy Eastside taqueria that sniffs out gringos with suspicion, Clarita Trujillo and the team that cooks behind her are beacons of positivity, family and kindness. Her smile and warmth transcends language barriers, and her cooking does much the same thing. Go to Clarita's for the tacos and stay for Trujillo. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Wineke: Paul Ryan and the debt limit
I guess we should be grateful for small things, and I am once again grateful that this nation has decided not to default on its debts.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have voted to increase the country's debt limit so the treasury can borrow money to pay our bills. If they hadn't done that, the economists warn that the entire world economy could be thrown to the winds. That would probably not be a good thing.
A couple of things do trouble me, however.
One is that almost no Republicans in the House voted for the increase. If it weren't for the fact that an overwhelming majority of Democrats voted to increase the debt limit, we would be toast.
House Speaker John Boehner said that is because it is the president's debt, so Republicans have no responsibility to stand behind it.
Which is, of course, nonsense. It's America's debt. Our elected representatives, Democrats and Republicans, voted to spend more money than we take in.
And Republicans control the House of Representatives. If they didn't want to spend more than we take in, they could have voted for a smaller spending budget or to increase tax revenue.
Here's the other thing that troubles me: The guy who was responsible for crafting the budget that spends more than it takes in is Rep. Paul Ryan, the Janesville Republican who was his party's candidate for vice president last year.
Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington worked out a compromise and got it passed. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
But when it came time to vote to increase the debt limit in order to pay for the budget he had just crafted, Ryan voted "no."
In other words, Ryan was willing to let the nation default on its debts for the first time in history because he wasn't willing to pay the debts that he, more than anyone else, had just incurred. To be sure, Ryan knew the bill would pass without his vote, but he is a guy with national aspirations for leadership.
He shouldn't act like a clown just because he can.
But it does seem typical of the way the Republican legislators seem to work these days.
The only thing they seem able to agree on is that they hate President Obama and have total contempt for that portion of the American public that isn't rich.
I admit that it appears to be a winning strategy. The Republicans keep getting elected.
But I have no idea why people like Ryan want to go through all the grief of running for office and working long hours away from their families and, yet, don't seem to want to accomplish anything more positive than keeping the poor in their place and trashing the reputation of the president.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
