Introduction
What is the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities?
The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (SRR) addresses allegations of student misconduct in a developmental and education manner with the primary focus of providing students with the tools necessary to remain productive members of the University community. SRR assists in the administration of the Student Conduct Code, provides interventions in response to allegation of misconduct, and educates students regarding their rights and responsibilities as members of the University community.
SRR administers the Creative Sanctioning Program, the Restorative Justice Program, and the Student Judicial Board. We also provide mediation services to students and student organizations upon request.
Goals of Student Life and Intercultural Relations
As a part of the Student Life and Intercultural Relations family, SRR's focus is to ensure all students are treated justly and fairly and those who may unfortunately run afoul of the Student Conduct Code are given every opportunity to make amends and succeed. SRR does not endeavor to punish students, but to educate them about their actions and how it effects the University community.
Quick Notes
- SRR endeavors to address concerning events in a variety of ways, which may range from a face to face meeting to an administrative hearing.
- Student Judicial Boards are not available for the Fall 2011 semester; we are working towards reinstalling them during the Spring 2012 semester.
- Students who wish to have their parents contact SRR must sign FERPA waivers so they may recieve relevant information.
- While SRR's hearing officers will not discuss possible sanctions prior to a hearing; we encourage all students who have concerns to contact the office to speak with our staff and to express any concerns they may have.
- We are continuously working on the website and will provide more information in the upcoming semester.
