College Code of Conduct Student Defense Advisor - Florida

College students attending higher education institutions in Florida will be subject to their school's code of conduct. Any actions that could constitute a violation of the code of conduct will be reprimanded via disciplinary action. Adverse outcomes to disciplinary proceedings can lead to serious repercussions that can haunt students for the entirety of their college career, and the effects can follow them down the line to their professional lives as well.

This is why students facing accusations of a disciplinary violation should seek representation from an experienced Florida attorney advisor.

Common Code of Conduct Violations

Every institution is different. Most colleges and universities have dozens of rules for students to abide by. But in my experience as an advisor, here are some of the most commonly charged code of conduct violations:

Academic misconduct

Academic integrity is at the center of a thriving learning environment. Hence why schools impose regulations intended to preserve academic integrity within an institution. In the event that students fail to comply with these rules, they may be accused of committing academic misconduct, a blatant violation of the code of conduct. There are various forms of academic misconduct. Actions that could constitute academic misconduct at your school may include, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, complicity and more. Some schools will also consider the mere attempt to commit such acts as academic dishonesty also.

Alcohol

Schools have varying rules concerning alcohol possession and consumption on campus. Some schools may only limit alcohol possession and consumption for students under the age of 21, while others may have restrictions to on-campus alcohol use regardless of age. At most schools, there will be consequences for providing alcohol to students who are underage.

Hazing

There are many universities and colleges who still have hazing rituals. But these rituals will be considered a disciplinary violation if it is discovered that this conduct degrades, humiliates, or endangers the mental or physical health of another.

Sexual misconduct

Sexual misconduct rates are alarmingly high at college and university campuses. Any actions that could constitute sexual misconduct - sexual assault, sexual harassment, rape, etc. - is a violation of every school's code of conduct and Title IX.

A responsible finding for a disciplinary violation may lead to consequences as serious as suspension or expulsion. This is why it's important that accused students remember that they have rights. With so much at stake, the only surefire way you can make sure the process is equitable and that your rights are protected is to retain an attorney advisor to be in your corner throughout the disciplinary process.
