DEIB Strategic Plan

As a Lutheran liberal arts institution, Newberry College is “called and empowered to serve the neighbor so that all may flourish” (Rooted & Open). That is, called and empowered to create and nurture a community where all people are not only welcomed, but also can experience a sense of genuine belonging. We must recognize that while diversity happens, inclusion and equity require informed, proactive change.

Newberry College's Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging is committed to the ongoing work of creating and nurturing a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment where everyone — students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners — can learn, live, work, and thrive. Our work in the Lutheran values of radical hospitality means we not only celebrate the differences that enrich our community, but diligently work to acknowledge the inequities and exclusions that define the world we inhabit, and in turn, to develop tools to build a more just and equitable world for all. To deepen our commitment to, and build our capacity for, fostering an inclusive and equitable environment in which our diversity is celebrated and integrated into all that we do. A Presidential Task Force was created to develop a strategic action plan that centers diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging across all campus entities.

The strategic plan is organized around five key priorities:

• Donor Advised Funds

• Charitable Gift Annuities

• Charitable Remainder Trusts

Wills

You want to leave money to Newberry College in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.

In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to Newberry College in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come. If you already have a will, you can just add this sentence as a codicil to your existing will:

“I give to Newberry College, a nonprofit organization currently located at 2100 College St., Newberry, SC 29108, [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

For more information, please contact Bill Nash at 803.321.5617 or at Bill.Nash@newberry.edu.

Beneficiary Designations

Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their will or estate. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:

• IRAs and retirement plans

• Life insurance policies

• Commercial annuities

It only takes three simple steps to make this type of gift. Here's how to name Newberry College as a beneficiary:

• Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form. Many institutions have these on their website or app

• Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like us to receive and name us, along with the percentage you chose, on the beneficiary form

• Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank or financial institution

• If you desire, please let the Newberry College office of Institutional Advancement know about your changes at 803.321.5363

IRA Charitable Rollover

Make a difference today and save on taxes. It’s possible when you support Newberry College through your IRA.

A Special Opportunity for Those 70½ Years Old and Older
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $105,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as Newberry College without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference at Newberry. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.

Why Consider This Gift?

• Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making

• Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD)

• You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions

• Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax

For more information, please contact Bill Nash at 803.321.5617 or at Bill.Nash@newberry.edu.

Life Insurance Policies

Maybe you once needed life insurance for your loved ones, but now your family's requirements have changed. Why not use the insurance policy to help advance our mission? Not only will you make a substantial gift at a relatively low cost, but it is revocable at any time should you need to change your plans.

You can designate our organization as the beneficiary for a percentage of your life insurance policy's death benefit. You choose whatever percent you desire. To complete your future gift, you can either contact your insurance company or agent and request and complete a beneficiary designation form or download the form from your provider's website. Then mail it back to the insurance company. Keep a copy for your records.

For more information, please contact Bill Nash at 803.321.5617 or at Bill.Nash@newberry.edu.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor advised fund is like a charitable savings account you set up at a qualified public charity called the “sponsoring organization.” It allows for centralized giving and gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to charitable organizations. You can transfer cash or other assets to the sponsoring organization. In return, you qualify for an income tax charitable deduction for gifts to your donor advised fund.

You can open your own donor advised fund with a written agreement between you and the organization that gives you (or other family members) the right to recommend the distributions made from your fund. You can also create a lasting legacy by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue to recommend grants to charitable organizations, or you can name Newberry College as a beneficiary to receive all or part of the account after your lifetime.

For more information, please contact Bill Nash at 803.321.5617 or at Bill.Nash@newberry.edu.

Charitable Gift Annuities

When you are looking for ways to help Newberry College with its mission, you shouldn't feel like you are choosing between your philanthropic goals and financial security. One gift that allows you to support Newberry College's work while receiving fixed payments for life is a charitable gift annuity.

Not only does this gift provide you with regular payments and allow us to further our work, but when you create a charitable gift annuity with Newberry College, you can receive a variety of tax benefits depending on how you fund your gift.

If you fund your gift annuity with cash or appreciated property, you qualify for a federal income tax deduction if you itemize. In addition, you can minimize capital gains taxes when you fund your gift with appreciated property.

And now, you can fund your gift using your IRA assets. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time election of up to $53,000 to fund a gift annuity. While your gift does not qualify for an income tax deduction, it does escape income tax liability on the transfer and count toward all or part of your required minimum distributions.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

Looking for a way to give Newberry College a significant gift? If you have built up a sizeable estate and are also looking for ways to receive reliable payments, you may want to check out the advantages of setting up a charitable remainder trust.

Benefits of a charitable remainder trust include:

• Potential for a partial charitable income tax deduction

• Potential for increased income

• Up-front capital gains tax avoidance

There are two ways to receive payments with charitable remainder trusts:

• The annuity trust pays you, each year, the same dollar amount you choose at the start. Your payments stay the same, regardless of fluctuations in trust investments.

• The unitrust pays you, each year, a variable amount based on a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust assets. The amount of your payments is redetermined annually. If the value of the trust increases, so do your payments. If the value decreases, however, so will your payments.

If you include Newberry College in your plans, please use our legal name and federal tax ID.

Administrative Conferences & Hearings

There are two formats for hearings. The first, and most common, is an individual one-on-one administrative conference. If a student doesn’t agree with the outcome, they can choose to have their case heard by the Student Conduct Hearing Board.

What Will Happen at the Conference or Hearing

Administrative conferences and hearings are designed to help address the report of an alleged policy violation in a way that is fair and educational. All documentation related to your case will be shared during your administrative conference.  If you would like a copy of the incident summary in advance, please contact the office at StudentConduct@newberry.edu or 803.321.5205.

Contesting a Hearing

If you disagree with the decision in your hearing, you can elect to have your case reheard by a panel of your peers.

Conduct Administrative Council

Purpose

To determine if a Student Code of Conduct violation occurred and if so, what sanctions are appropriate.

Process

You will meet with the conduct administrator for 30-60 minutes in the Office of Student Conduct. This is typically an informal, information-gathering meeting. Students who do not agree with the outcome of this process can choose to move forward with the Hearing Board process. 

If you do not attend your meeting, a registration hold can be placed on your account and the case will be heard without your participation.

Interim Actions

Interim actions can be taken when there is a reasonable belief, based on the information available at the time, that a student or student organization poses a threat to health, safety, or property. Under these circumstances, the Office of Student Conduct may create a separation between the student or student organization and the College until the time in which both the student or organization and the College can gather additional information to make a final determination in a conduct hearing. A final decision, which may reinstate the student or result in more ongoing separation statuses, will be made during a Conduct Administrative Conference or Hearing. Every effort will be made to conduct the hearing within the shortest amount of time possible in order to both reduce the stress of displacement on the student while preserving due process and fairness. Interim actions for student organizations do not affect housing or academic progress, so will not result in the same need to expedite.

Judicial Hearing Board

Purpose

If you disagree with the findings of your administrative conference, or feel your case would be more fairly heard by a panel of your peers, you may choose to have a hearing with the Student Conduct Hearing Board.

Process

Typically, you will meet with a panel of students, staff and faculty members for one to four hours in the Office of Student Conduct's conference room.

Organizational Administrative Conference

Purpose

To determine if a group is collectively responsible for a Student Code of Conduct violation.

Process

An organization representative will meet with a conduct administrator for 30-60 minutes in the Office of Student Conduct. If your organization is accused of violating the Code of Conduct, this hearing is frequently the next step. One advisor may attend in support of the group. Organizations who do not agree with the outcome of this process can choose to have their representative move forward with the Hearing Board process. 

As a guiding principle, groups will be held responsible for the acts of members when those acts grow out of, or are in any way related to, group life.

Sanctions

Code of Conduct sanctions vary, depending on:

• the nature and severity of your actions

• any previous violations or disciplinary actions

• any unusual circumstances surrounding the incident

• the rationale of your actions

• the outcome or sanctions in similar, previous cases

• harm to others and community impact

Other Consequences

You may face outcomes beyond educational sanctions as a result of your incident. Penalties range from educational intervention to suspension, with combinations of penalties possible. For most first offenses, sanctions are designed to be educational in nature and to help students learn from mistakes.

Campus Assessment, Response & Evaluation Team

Student Conduct at Newberry College

Student Conduct empowers students to be responsible citizens and uphold the core values of our academic community. We hold every member and every student organization of our community to a high standard of ethical behavior.

Our Guiding Documents

Our Student Code of Conduct outlines students' responsibilities to themselves and to the Newberry College community.

Virtual Student Appointments

Students who are reported for Code of Conduct concerns will have an initial meeting to discuss the alleged violation. Upon request, the initial meeting can be conducted in-person or virtually via Microsoft Teams. You will receive notification of your appointment and directions via your College email.

• We suggest that you download the Microsoft Teams application as that provides the best virtual connection.

• When it is your appointment time, you will meet in-person with the conduct officer or you will receive a call from your administrator or be prompted to join the video conference.

• You can choose to use the video feature or engage in the conference with audio only.

• You can also have a support person join you for the meeting. However, our conversation with be with you. The support person can advise you but cannot participate in the conversation.

Understanding the Hearing Process

There are two formats for hearings. The first, and most common, is an individual one-on-one administrative conference to determine whether a Student Code of Conduct violation has occurred, and if so, to determine which actions are appropriate. If a student doesn’t agree with the outcome, they can choose to have their case heard by the Student Conduct Hearing Board. The hearing officer may also elect to refer cases involving serious allegations to the Student Conduct Hearing Board. Click here to learn more about administrative conferences & hearings.

Interim Actions

Interim actions can be taken when there is a reasonable belief, based on the information available at the time, that a student or student organization poses a threat to health, safety, or property. Under these circumstances, the Office of Student Conduct may create a separation between the student or organization and the College until both parties can gather additional information to make a final determination in a conduct hearing. A final decision, which may reinstate the student or result in continued separation, will be made during a Conduct Administrative Conference or Hearing. Every effort will be made to conduct the hearing within the shortest time possible to reduce the stress of displacement on the student while preserving due process and fairness. Interim actions for student organizations do not affect housing or academic progress, and will not be subject to the same time constraints.

Sanctions

Code of Conduct sanctions depend on:

• the nature and severity of your actions.

• any previous violations or disciplinary actions.

• any unusual circumstances surrounding the incident.

• the rationale of your actions.

• the outcome or sanctions in similar, previous cases.

• harm to others and community impact.

Other Consequences

You may face outcomes beyond educational sanctions as a result of your incident. Penalties range from educational intervention to suspension, with combinations of penalties possible. For most first offenses, sanctions are designed to be educational in nature and help students learn from mistakes.

Examples of Common Sanctions

Alcohol Violations

• Alcohol Essay

• Parent or Guardian Notification

• Alcohol Education Module

Drug Violations
