The Office of Community Standards enforces the University Conduct Code and administers the student conduct process. The goal of the office is to establish a safe educational environment that fosters individual responsibility, integrity, and respect. The Office of Community Standards strives to attain that goal by promoting responsible decision-making, educating students about University policies, holding students accountable for their actions, and helping them learn from their mistakes. The conduct process is designed to be educational, transformative, transparent, fair, expedient, and respectful of students’ rights. The Office of Community Standards uses an operation philosophy of Restorative Justice to assess the hurt done to the community or individual(s) during a given incident. The conduct process is therefore an instrument by which the hurt done to the community or individual(s) can be repaired.
