- Action may be taken against a registered student organization for Organizational Activity. Furthermore, action may be taken against an organization for the acts of individual members when a reasonable person would find that:
- The acts grow out of, or are directly related to, the organization’s activities or an environment created or knowingly permitted by the organization; or
- A member of an organization is violating local, state, or federal laws or University regulations and other members are present and failing to discourage such activity, thus silently condoning the behaviors.
- In addition to action being taken against an organization, action may also be taken against members and officers as individuals for their roles in any violation of University policy.
- During the Investigation and resolution of alleged organizational misconduct, the University may suspend any and all Organizational Activity. Notice of the suspension of activity will be given to the organization as well as other parties pertinent to the suspension, including, but not limited to, national organizations, advisors, other organizations on campus, and the campus community. The suspension may be narrowly defined in order to stop the particular behavior in question and prevent its reoccurrence prior to resolution. Behavior that presents an ongoing threat to the health and safety of the community or that creates an environment in which continued Organizational Activity would cause a reasonable person to question the University’s commitment to its values and the Community Creed will likely result in a broad suspension of all activity prior to resolution.
- Anonymous reports may be submitted to the University. Anonymous reports that can be substantiated with additional credible information may be considered in holding organizations accountable. Additionally, the University may choose to protect the anonymity of reporting parties.
- It is the University’s discretion whether to forward a matter onto formal conduct proceedings.
