Students should conduct themselves in an orderly manner. Unreasonable behavior that negatively impacts or interferes with community members’ ability to live, learn, sleep, or be safe, healthy, or well is disorderly conduct. Conduct that obstructs or disrupts teaching, administration, University procedures and activities, or other authorized activities is also prohibited. Examples of disorderly conduct include, but are not limited to:
- Unreasonable or reckless conduct that is inherently or potentially unsafe to other persons or their property;
- Disruptive behaviors that interrupt operations or cause public annoyance, alarm, or unrest;
- Preventing members of a class from hearing a lecture or taking an exam;
- Violations of an instructor’s expectations for classroom conduct;
- Refusing to leave a private area or closed meeting when not authorized to attend;
- Interrupting or interfering with the carrying out of the duties of a University or public official, including law enforcement; and
- Pushing or shoving of another that does not rise to the level of abuse.
