Additional University Policies and Guidelines

The Honor Code

The Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities has the authority to investigate and resolve alleged violations related to Student Organizations pursuant to the Honor Code and these procedures. In any instance in which these procedures require additional clarity, or these procedures conflict with the Honor Code, the Honor Code will generally take precedence. The Director of Student Rights & Responsibilities has the discretion to determine the applicable procedures and to delegate responsibility for such investigation or adjudication.

Action taken against Student Organizations is an extension of the University's Student Rights & Responsibilities process. The Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities, in consultation with relevant campus partners, including, but not limited to, Athletics & Recreation and Student Affairs & Inclusive Excellence staff, may take whatever action deemed necessary to respond to complaints involving Student Organizations and/or to prevent future violations.

The University uses the Student Rights & Responsibilities process to address both individual Student behavior and conduct as well as organizational behavior and conduct. The investigation and/or adjudication of individuals does not absolve the Student Organization of responsibility for the alleged violations, nor does the investigation and/or adjudication of organizational responsibility absolve individuals of their responsibility for the alleged violations.
