Why does Slippery Rock University enforce disciplinary rules?
Slippery Rock University represents a community. Like any community, certain standards must be established to instruct community members on what is permissable. As an institution of higher education, some rules relate to expectations for academic integrity and define cheating and plagiarism. Some rules explain what is permitted or not permitted in residence halls. Other rules emphasize that members of the Slippery Rock University community must comply with state and federal laws. By establishing these rules the university preserves the right to remove someone from the community who may be endangering the welfare of others.
