Mission Statement
We strive to resolve allegations of misconduct under the Code of Student Conduct
and the Code of Academic Integrity as well as parking ticket appeals in a manner
consistent with our core values of fairness, honesty and integrity. Moreover, we
acknowledge the importance of balancing the interests of the individual student
and the community at large, as well as protecting the integrity of the institution
and its values. As a component of our work, we seek to involve students in the judicial
process-- recognizing the significant responsibility they maintain in the protection
of the university community. To foster future leaders and sound citizens, we promise
to invest in their learning and character development.
Our Values
F a i r n e s s
We believe that fairness is paramount to the judicial process. Every person
involved should expect to be treated with respect and compassion, given the opportunity
to communicate their perspective, as well as be heard without prejudice. We employ
a consistent process and we strive for a timely resolution.
H o n e s t y
We believe honesty is critical to the resolution of community disputes, healthy
relationships, personal growth and moral development. While we acknowledge the reality
of human fallibility, we believe that honest confrontation of choices is instrumental
to the learning process.
I n t e g r i t y
We believe that integrity undergirds the legitimacy of our process. In other
words, it is living up to the expectations we espouse. Therefore, we seek to be
held accountable to the high expectations articulated in this statement and to foster
a judicial system that embodies the values of fairness, honesty and integrity.

Environmental Efforts
Along with other departments in the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Student Conduct actively works to better the environment in daily practice.
Waste Recycling
The Office of Student Conduct has placed recycling bins in or near each office to allow staff easy access to recycling containers for mixed-paper. The bins in the hallway of the second floor of the Mitchell Building also allow the staff to recycle bottles and cans.
Energy & Water Conservation
As a coordinated effort the staff have placed signs next to light switches as a reminder to turn off lights, heat/air conditioning, and computers. Some staff members have resorted to task lighting having a lamp on their individual desk, rather then using the overhead florescent lighting. The Office refrigerator is kept at a reasonable temperature, securely sealed, and defrosted regularly to alleviate ice build up.
Salvage & Reuse
Many items are salvaged and reused in the Office of Student Conduct. Disciplinary folders are stripped of identifying information and reused for future accused students. All sensitive documents are shredded then recycled. Computer toner and printer cartridges are collected and recycled. Paper and copies with non-confidential information printed on the reverse side is used as scrap paper for phone messages and notes.
Waste Reduction
To reduce the amount of waste the staff produces many forms are available electronically and many letters are sent electronically. Mailings sent to regular constituents (police, referring faculty members, drug testing administrator, etc.) are sent as a group mailing, rather than in individual envelopes.
Product Purchasing
The purchasing of products has decreased with standards for reusing and salvaging products. Paper which is purchased for computer printing and copying is a percentage recycled paper.
Participation of Students
As a kick off to the school year, the office staff developed the motto of Have Integrity, Recycle which was posted on individual doors and displayed on bulletin boards in the hallway surrounding the office suite.
Have integrity...recycle!
