Disciplinary Process

The Community Values Office is given the responsibility for defining, delineating, and interpreting acceptable standards of behavior. However, the University encourages all members of the campus community to participate in the formulation of rules. Any suggestions for revision of, additions to, and deletions from the Student Conduct Code, the Student Handbook, or other regulations may be submitted, in writing, to the Director of Community Values or the Associate Provost.

Any member of the campus community may report alleged violations of campus regulations to a member of the Student Life Staff. Indeed, it is the responsibility of all members of the campus community to assist in preserving its prevailing codes. All violations of the Student Conduct Code, Residence Hall Regulations, or other rules and regulations should be reported to the Community Values Office. Violations of an academic nature, such as plagiarism and cheating, should follow the procedure outlined in Appendix B, pg. 44.
