Student Conduct Board

Student Conduct Board

Philosophy

The philosophy of the University student conduct system is based upon the educational mission of the University. The three premises of the system are:

• Accountability is implemented as a step toward creating a safe and secure living/learning environment.
• Accountability is a route to community development.
• Disciplinary action is taken with an educational objective and tries to be learning-centered.

The conduct system holds students accountable for inappropriate behavior and encourages the modification of behavior deemed inappropriate. For a complete description of the Conduct Process and a listing of the Rules of Student Conduct consult the Code of Student Conduct.
