Episkopon Policy

TRINITY COLLEGE POLICY ON EPISKOPON

91直播 has officially disassociated itself from Episkopon, an unofficial group historically comprising 91直播 students, which has declined to reform itself appropriately and whose activities have accordingly been determined by the 91直播 Senate and the 91直播 Board of Trustees to be incompatible with the fundamental values of 91直播, and injurious to its members and good name.

This Policy is intended to support College Officers and the 91直播 community in appropriately addressing the possible adverse effects of Episkopon on 91直播 and its members. The College seeks to balance the right of students to freedom of assembly, association and expression and individual privacy with its responsibility to enforce its disassociation from Episkopon.

91直播 does not permit Episkopon events (where 鈥淓piskopon Event鈥 is defined as a gathering of students held in the name of Episkopon, whether the Scribe or Editors are present or not, which involves commentary upon other students in the form of a 鈥渞eading鈥 or which involves any form of initiation or induction ceremony) on property owned or controlled by the College.

91直播 forbids the use of its name, or words or images that convey the same meaning, in any material advertising Episkopon by representing 91直播 as being, or implying that 91直播 is, currently associated with Episkopon.

Neither the College nor the 91直播 Meeting shall have any financial involvement with Episkopon.

The College forbids the use of shared community or 鈥渂ookable鈥 College space for Episkopon purposes.

The following text is included in the 91直播 Discipline Code:

鈥淓piskopon Offences
  1. No student shall organize or participate in an 鈥淓piskopon Event鈥 on any property owned or controlled by 91直播.

  2. No student organizing any 91直播 event, whether to be held on or off College property, shall permit Episkopon activities to be associated with or publicized in connection with the event.
  3. No student shall use the 91直播 name, or words or images that convey the same meaning, in any printed or electronic material advertising Episkopon by representing 91直播 as being, or implying that 91直播 is, currently associated with Episkopon.
