an honest ethical fashion and to cooperate with university officials as requested. Officers must accept
responsibility for control of organization events and ensure proper behavior of students and guests in
attendance. Organizations will be held responsible for damages to university property and/or equipment
resulting from their use. Organizations are expected to follow all university and SGA/Finance Board rules
and policies as well as all applicable laws of city, state and federal governments.
Anyone may initiate a complaint against a student organization. Additionally, disciplinary actions may be
taken against organizations for violations, as stated above, or for organizations that no longer are fulfilling
the purpose on which their recognition was based. In its discretion, the Office of Campus Life may process
infractions that it deems to be minor. If the organization wishes to appeal the decision of the Office of
Campus Life with respect to such infractions or if the infraction is deemed not to be minor, a judicial
hearing will be conducted before a Campus Judicial Board in accordance with the hearing procedures
established under the Code of Conduct, provided that no student or faculty/staff may be selected to
service on the Campus Judicial Board if he or she is a member or advisor of the groups involved in the
infraction. Consistent with the established hearing procedures, the panel will determine the level of
organizational responsibility for the violation and decide on appropriate sanctions if it is determined that the
organization is responsible. Sanctions for infractions may include, but are not limited to, fines, restitution or
revocation of organizational recognition. Decisions rendered by the Campus Judicial Board may be
appealed as provided for in the Code of Conduct.
The university reserves the right to hold both individuals and organizations responsible for their actions. A
student may be held individually responsible while, concurrently or consecutively, an organization may be
held responsible for the same violation. The two processes are separate.
G. Indebtedness to the University
Student organizations may have recognition revoked for failure to pay debts to the university.
Organizations are responsible to reimburse the university for any negative balances in organization
accounts held by the university. Additional financial repercussions may apply to student organizations who
do not fulfill financial expectations as communicated by the Office of Campus Life each year.
