(A) Policy statement/preamble. Youngstown
			 state university (YSU) is a student-centered institution committed to the
			 education, development, well-being, and success of students of all ages and
			 from all walks in life. In concert with our mission to help students grow
			 intellectually, we strive to foster their personal, social, emotional, and
			 career growth, as well as their capacities for lifelong learning, civic
			 responsibility, and leadership.
As a campus community, we expect all conduct to be rooted in
				integrity, mutual respect, and civility. We value ethical behavior in scholarly
				and other endeavors, believe in the dignity and worth of all people, strive to
				foster an appreciation of, and respect for, differences among the human race,
				and celebrate the diversity that enriches the university and the world. As a
				member of a higher education community, students have an obligation to conduct
				themselves in a manner that is compatible with the university's purposes as an
				institution of higher education. Each student is expected to be fully
				acquainted with all published policies, procedures, and regulations of the
				university and is held responsible for compliance with them. All members of the
				university community are expected to assume responsibility for creating an
				environment conducive to the educational mission and purpose of the
				university.
The policies and regulations in "The Student Code of Conduct"
				have been established to ensure a positive educational experience for every
				student. "The Student Code of Conduct" serves as an official university
				document that outlines conditions and regulations considered essential to the
				effective functioning of the university.
The student conduct process at Youngstown state university
				adheres to procedural due process and is intended to be part of the educational
				process at the university. This student conduct process provides a forum for
				the impartial and expedient resolution of alleged misconduct in the university
				community and encourages students to live responsibly and be accountable for
				their actions. The student conduct process is based on the university's
				commitment to developing integrity, respect, and responsibility among all
