Violators may be accountable to both civil and criminal

that constitute violations of the Student
Code of Conduct. At the discretion of university officials, disciplinary action
at the university may proceed before, during, or after other proceedings. Sanctions
may be imposed for acts of misconduct that occur on university property or
at any university sponsored activity. As further prescribed in these rules,
off-campus conduct may also be subject to discipline. With respect to student
organizations, and their members, university jurisdiction extends to premises

Philosophy :: Back to Top |
| 1 |
|
The aim of education is the intellectual, personal,
social, and ethical development of the individual. The educational
process is ideally conducted in an environment that encourages
reasoned discourse, intellectual honesty, openness to constructive
change and respect for the rights of all individuals. Self
discipline and a respect for the rights of others in the
university community are necessary for the fulfillment of
such goals. The Student Code of Conduct is designed to promote
this environment
at each of the state universities. |
| |
|
|

|
The Student Code of Conduct sets forth the standards of
conduct expected of students who choose to join the university
community. |
| |
|
|
| 3 |
|
Students who violate these standards will be subject to
disciplinary sanctions in order to promote their own personal
development, to protect the university community, and to
maintain order and stability on campus. |
