The policies and procedures contained in this Handbook are premised on several basic rights for all members of the Widener community.
All students have the right to a physically and emotionally safe and secure environment.
This right requires that individuals must assume responsibilities for their own safety and security and for that of others. Students have the right to expect that others will exercise care to assure a secure environment. Students share this responsibility by carefully following all University and community rules and regulations. All members of the Widener community share the responsibility for maintaining a clean environment. For the general welfare of the University, all students have a responsibility to exercise reasonable care in the use of personal or University property.
