Admission to the University carries with it the presumption that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the community. Upon registration, each student agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the University.

Working together as a community, students, faculty, and staff help foster a campus atmosphere that furthers the mission of the University. Students are expected to enhance the campus ethos. This expectation calls for behavior which demonstrates the five principles of students conduct:
respect for oneself, respect for others, respect for property, respect for authority, and honesty.
 

Behavior which is Disruptive

This policy covers acts and attempted acts, regardless of whether the act or attempt was deliberate and whether the potential outcome was intended. Extreme forms of disruptive behavior may threaten the physical safety of students, staff and visitors. Examples include, but are not limited to:
 


Physical abuse, assault and battery
 

Verbal abuse

Threatening behavior and actions

Intimidation and stalking

Harassment (including sexual, racial, ethnic and other harassment as outlined in the Harassment section of the student handbook)

Any action that might lead to serious physical harm is considered Endangering Behavior. Examples include, but are not limited to:
