The University has sole discretion for approving Organizational Activity as well as interpreting policies and procedures that effect organizations, including, but not limited to, determining appropriate accountability action for an organization and/or individual members.
Application of University Policies to Organizations
All University policies, including those in the Student Behavior Policies apply to Organizational Activity.
Application of University Policies to Members by the Organization
Registered Student Organizations may not adjudicate violations of University policy. An organization should, instead, hold members accountable to its bylaws, constitution, and/or national policies in accordance with its internal procedures. Organizations should not copy--regardless of citation or paraphrase--any University policy language into its bylaws or constitution.
Investigations into Organizational Activity
Student organizations must disclose when national organizations or outside parties are investigating their organization or its member(s) for wrongdoing. Organizations have an affirmative duty to disclose; should the organization not disclose, it may face sanctions up to and including loss of recognition.
