But serious offences, like underage intoxication, seem to be fairly rare subject matter for the proctor's meetings, he added.
Queen emphasized that while the punishment for SSP students and College undergraduates is somewhat different, both have access to the same due process and disciplinary procedure.
A proctor or assistant dean--one of the three who oversees the high school students living in the Yard--will normally report an incident and the culpable student will then submit a written statement to the Dean's Council.
The Dean's Council, consisting of Queen, Summer School Dean Peter Buck, Director of the SSP Elizabeth C. Hewitt and the three assistant deans, can take action on its own. Or when a more serious case arises, they can involve the Summer School Administrative Board, the highest disciplinary power on campus.
Made up of summer school and Harvard College administrators, the Summer School Ad Board can require a student to withdraw immediately after a punishable offense.
