Organizational Shared Responsibility

All organizations, 俱乐部, teams or groups of students who are perceived as functioning as an organized entity, will be held responsible for the behavior of their affiliates (including current students, alumni or guests), particularly when their actions evolve from or are in any way related to their association with or activities of that group. Affiliates of a group or perceived group who act in concert to violate university or state regulations may be given joint responsibility for such violations. Affiliates of a group or perceived group that condone or encour年龄 behavior that violates university or state regulations may be given joint responsibility for such violations.

 

Organizational Governance and Membership

学生s are expected to know and abide by the regulations governing student organizations/groups including, but not limited to, groups recognized by the 学生 Government Association (SGA), Greek Letter Organizations, athletic teams/俱乐部 and national honor societies/俱乐部. Failure to abide by these regulations may result in action through the 学生 Conduct System. Accepting membership into an organization that is currently not eligible to recruit new members, due to the group’s suspension or withdrawal of recognition, 是一种侵犯, and any individual found responsible for such affiliation will be held accountable.
