avoid a subsequent incident:

<li>
A warning.
</li>
<li>
A suspension from the events and spaces governed by the Code of Conduct

effect less than two full weeks from the end of class, then the
suspension applies to the subsequent term as well.

relationship with someone involved in the complaint, shall participate in

as a member when determining the quorum required to hear and decide on the
appeal.

request, but no more often then once a year, the Officers will review the
decision to expel them from the Club. The Officers can reinstate the
subject with a two-thirds vote of the Officers.
