Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3335 - Ohio State University › Chapter 3335-23 - Code of Student Conduct › Section 3335-23-22 - Authority

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
The bylaws of the university board of trustees and rules of the
				university faculty provide that the university president shall have the final
				responsibility and authority for the discipline of all students of the
				university (see paragraph (A) of rule
				3335-11-01 of the Administrative
				Code). This responsibility and authority has been delegated by the president to
				the vice president for student life, whose office is also charged with
				responsibility for promulgation of rules governing student conduct (see
				paragraph (H) of rule
				3335-1-03 of the Administrative
				Code).
The deans of colleges and of the graduate school, the directors
				of schools, and the chairpersons of departments, respectively, are responsible
				to the president through regular disciplinary channels for the discipline of
				all students in the activities of their respective colleges, schools, and
				departments (see paragraph (B) of rule
				3335-11-01 of the Administrative
				Code). Likewise, the deans and directors of the regional campuses are
				responsible to the president through the executive vice president and provost
				for the discipline of all students in the activities of their respective
				campuses.
The Ohio state university code of student conduct is an
				official publication of the university board of trustees. All petitions for
				revision and amendment of this code of student conduct should be submitted
				through the office of the vice president for student life. The code
				of student conduct shall remain consistent with
				university's non-discrimination, harassment, and sexual
				misconduct policy ; any code of student conduct changes related to those policies
				shall be done in consultation with the appropriate official designated under
				the non-discrimination, harassment, and sexual
				misconduct policy . Proposed revisions to the code of student conduct shall be
				reviewed, in draft form, by the office of the president, the office of academic
				affairs, and the steering committee of the university senate before being
				presented for approval to the university senate by the council on student
				affairs. No revision shall become effective unless approved by the university
				board of trustees and until printed notice of such revisions is made available
				to students.
This rule shall take effect upon approval by the board of
				trustees. It shall govern all procedures in matters brought after it first
				takes effect and also all further procedures in matters then pending, except to
				the extent that in the discretion of the university the application in a
				particular action pending would not be feasible, in which event the former
				version of this rule shall be used. The definitions of prohibited conduct used
				in a particular matter will be the definitions found in the version of rule
				3335-23-04 of the Administrative
				Code in effect at the time the alleged conduct occurred.
