What is the purpose of the judicial system?
The judicial system is an educational tool with two main objectives: to hold students accountable for unacceptable behavior and to modify those behaviors deemed unacceptable by the university. The system strives to address unacceptable behavior in a manner that informs and guides students toward a greater sense of personal responsibility and toward more mature and ethical behavior. The University Judicial System affects and applies to all currently enrolled students and to student organizations that are officially listed with the Office of Leadership and Student Organization Programs. Its major purpose is to help create a fair, just, and disciplined university community. The University Judicial System supports the educational mission of the university by educating students about appropriate behavior and by fostering a community in which academic success can occur.
