Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Students are encouraged to organize and
			 join associations and organizations to promote their common interests. Student
			 organization activities, events or programs held off university premises are
			 the responsibility of the sponsoring student organization and not the
			 university. However, it is expected that members of organizations individually
			 and collectively will act consistently with the provisions of the code, the
			 organization's constitution, university rules and regulations, and applicable
			 laws. The presiding officer of an organization is responsible for informing
			 members that the organization and its members are governed by the terms and
			 conditions of the code and university rules and regulations.
(1) If the actions set forth in paragraph
			 (A)(2) of this rule occur on university premises, the student organization can
			 be subject to the university judicial system set forth in rules
			 3344-83-10 to
			 3344-83-12
			 of the Administrative Code and may incur one or more of the sanctions described
			 in rule
			 3344-83-07 of the
			 Administrative Code. For actions on or off university premises, a university
			 official may bring charges of failure to follow university policies to the
			 student life committee of faculty senate which may suspend or revoke
			 recognition or registration of a student organization and/or dictate conditions
			 by which a student organization may maintain or re-establish recognition or
			 registration in accordance with the committee's procedures set forth in the
			 student handbook.
(2) An
			 organization may be held responsible, as set forth in paragraph (A)(l) of this
			 rule, for violations under any of the following conditions:
(a) When the act is in violation of a rule in
			 Chapter 3344-83 of the Administrative Code, the organization's constitution, or
			 applicable university rules and regulations and is committed by one or more
			 officers or members of an organization and is supported by any of the following
			 of the organization:
(i)
			 Constitution,
(ii)
			 By-laws,
(iii)
			 Regulations,
(iv)
			 Policies,
(v) Practice, custom,
			 or
(vi) tradition.
(b) When the act is in violation
			 of a rule in Chapter 3344-83 of the Administrative Code, the organization's
			 constitution, university rules and regulations and is, by one or more officers
			 or members of the organization acting on behalf of the organization and within
			 the scope of their office or membership:
(i)
			 Authorized,
(ii)
			 Requested,
(iii) Encouraged,
			 or
(iv) Tolerated.
(c) When the act is in violation
			 of a rule in Chapter 3344-83 of the Administrative Code, the organization's
			 constitution, or applicable university policies and was committed by one or
			 more officers or members of the organization acting on behalf of the
			 organization or within the scope of their office or membership;
(d) When the organization, through one or
			 more of its officers or members, fails to take an action or discharge a duty
			 expressly imposed upon such organizations by the code, the organization's
			 constitution, university rules or regulations.
