The University seeks an environment that promotes academic achievement and integrity, that is protective of free inquiry, and that serves the educational mission of the University. Similarly, the University seeks a community that is free from violence, threats, and intimidation; that is respectful of the rights, opportunities, and welfare of students, faculty, staff, and guests of the University; and that does not threaten the physical or mental health or safety of members of the University community.
Note that the Student Conduct Code specifically addresses disruptive classroom conduct, which means, "engaging in behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach or student learning.” The classroom extends to any setting where a student is engaged in work toward academic credit or satisfaction of program-based requirements or related activities."
All University students are expected to adhere to the Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code.
