What are the major differences between the University Student Conduct System and criminal justice systems?
The University Student Conduct System is focused on educating the student with emphasis on student development and accountability, while the goal of the criminal justice system is primarily focused on punishment and rehabilitation. Therefore, the University works with students who have been accused of violating the rules and regulations of Lehigh University (found primarily in the Student Code of Conduct) and finding a meaningful resolution of those accusations.
