The University community expects all students to live by the following standards designed for its general well being. Visitors to the University shall observe these regulations while on campus or other university property. Noncompliance by their visitors may subject students to sanctions imposed by the University as well as to the provisions of local and state law.
University students enjoy all the rights and privileges of citizenship.
Students are subject, however, to the special obligations that accrue to them as members of the academic community. Institutional effort should be exerted to develop, not inhibit, intellectual and personal development of students by the exercise of the rights of citizenship both on and off campus. The enforcement of the obligations of students to the larger society is the responsibility of the legal and judicial authorities duly established for that purpose. When the interests of the University community are clearly involved, however, the authority of the institution should be asserted. The fact that a violation occurs off campus does not preclude the interest and involvement of the University.
