Judicial Process for Student Organizations

If the conduct of members of a student organization violates a campus policy or results in an off-campus citation, the student organization is subject to referral to the Student Judicial System. The incident will be referred to the Student Affairs Office for adjudication. The student organization retains the same rights and responsibilities as an individual student in the university judicial process. A student organization will be held accountable for any members or nonmembers who, at a sponsored event, violate university policies rules and regulations, federal and state or local laws on or off campus. A student organization is responsible for supervising all sponsored events on or off campus, even though other security measures may be taken. If a student organization is found to be responsible for violating university policies, rules, regulations and/or federal state or local laws, sanctions such as loss of privileges and/or recognition may be imposed. State and federal privacy laws do not apply to student organizations.
