These consequences do not have to proceed in this order. Consequences will be given out as seen fit by the Intramural Officials, Supervisors, and Director. Anyone ejected from a game must serve a minimum of two game suspension AND meet with the Director of Intramurals prior to being reinstated to intramural activities.

Any action that is deemed unsportsmanlike can be turned into Student Life if there is a need for disciplinary interventions.

Disciplinary System

The Student Life Staff is responsible for the implementation of the student conduct and disciplinary system at the University. Members of the Student Life Staff, The University Discipline Board for Students, and/or the Student Conduct Board will hear all disciplinary cases and sanctions may be imposed as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Gonzaga University Hearings are not criminal or civil judicial proceedings. Information for a finding is based on a standard that an act was more likely than not; to have occurred. The information does not have to be in the form of physical evidence nor does the reported violation have to be witnessed. Circumstantial information can be sufficient in some instances to determine that an act was more likely than not to have occurred. The University’s standard for determining whether a violation has occurred is different from criminal law.

Disciplinary Procedures

The Student Life staff is responsible for initiating disciplinary proceedings for all infractions where there is sufficient information to believe that a violation may have occurred and disciplinary action is appropriate.

Any member of the University community may file a complaint against any student or student organization for misconduct. Complaints involving conduct in the residence halls can be filed with the appropriate Residence Life Staff Member and will be processed under the residence hall judicial system. Other complaints can be filed with the Student Life Office or Dean of Student Services office and processed through the judicial system. Complaints may also arise from information documented in Campus Security reports or forwarded to the Student Life staff by other University departments.

General Information

Specific responsibilities for disciplinary interventions and resolutions rest with various departments and judicial bodies. There is also a mutual and shared responsibility which Gonzaga promotes, allowing for cooperation and collaboration between University departments regarding student conduct issues.

Student disciplinary records are maintained in the Housing/Residence Life Office and the Student Life Office. These records usually include copies of incident reports, hearing records, and any sanctions issued. For information about misconduct and discipline that is academic in nature, please refer to the Academics section of the student handbook.
