<aside> 💡 This is CCN’s policy for dismissing members of CCN (individuals in CCN member groups, working groups, etc.)

</aside>

The removal of members from CCN spaces will only be made when a certain member is creating an unsafe space for others and/or directly inhibiting our ability to our ability to pursue CCN’s mission

Creating an unsafe space:

This can include, but is not limited to:

1. Bullying
2. Harassment
3. Discrimination
4. Other behavior, depending of the experience of other CCN members in the space

Directly inhibiting CCN’s mission:

This can include, but is not limited to:

1. Blocking others from sharing resources and skills
2. Preventing connections
3. Not allowing others to speak and share opinions, experiences, etc.
4. Other behavior, depending of the experience of other CCN members in the space

Process for removal:

Any of the following can trigger the evaluation of a member of a CCN space:

1. Another CCN member believes that the member-in-question has engaged in one of the above behaviors. The CCN member can hold the member-in-question accountable and try to express tension directly to resolve the conflict. If the issue does not get resolved or if the CCN member does not feel safe/comfortable addressing the member-in-question directly, the CCN member alerts a member of the staff or Planning Committee.
2. The member-in-question has already been removed from or asked to leave a student organization that is a member of CCN.
3. A staff member or PC member has witnessed one or more of the above behaviors in the member-in-question.
