In carrying out its teaching, research, and public service activities, the University has an obligation to maintain conditions under which the work of its members--the faculty, students and staff--can go forward freely, in accordance with the highest standards of excellence, institutional integrity, and freedom of expression, and with full recognition by all concerned of the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of those who comprise the University community.
These Policies address the rights and responsibilities of members of the University community as well as others while on University property. These Policies also address the responsibilities of students as defined herein and provide Universitywide standards for campus implementing regulations as a means of sustaining this community.
Each member of the University shares in the responsibility for maintaining this unique community so that the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service can be achieved.
These Policies and their campus implementing regulations are designed
to protect and promote the rights of members of the University, prevent interference
with University functions or activities, and assure compliance with all pertinent
laws and other applicable University policies.
