Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the perceptions and viewpoints of conduct violation outcomes among Black college students attending a Predominantly White Institution (PWI) situated in the Midwest region of the United States. To accomplish this, the study employed a theoretical framework rooted in Critical Race Theory (CRT) to delve into the key components of how Black college students perceive the student conduct process. Qualitative research methods, including interviews, were employed to uncover emerging themes related to Black students' perspectives on student conduct at their Midwest higher education institution. The overarching question that guided this study can be summarized as follows: What do Black students think and feel about the outcomes resulting from violations of student conduct? Findings encompass the Black students' encounters with the university's charges, the equitable application of the Student Code of Conduct, the influence of sanctions and racial background on outcomes, the role of race in the determination process, their overall perceptions, and the potential application of restorative justice principles.
