College Code of Conduct Student Defense Advisor - Ohio

College students attending Ohio higher education institutions are required to abide by a set of rules known as the “code of conduct.” These rules are put in place to maintain a safe campus community. If a student is accused of violating this code, they will undergo a disciplinary proceeding to determine whether or not this accusation is valid.

An adverse outcome of a disciplinary proceeding (a responsible finding) can lead to serious repercussions that can jeopardize a student's college career, and affect their professional life. This is why students facing allegations of a disciplinary violation should seek representation from an experienced Ohio attorney advisor.

Common Code of Violations

Every institution has a code of conduct that dictates the rules students, staff, and faculty are to abide by. Since every institution is different, the rules will look different at each school. But essentially, the most commonly charged code of conduct violations include:

Academic Misconduct

Academic integrity is at the core of a thriving learning environment. This is why colleges and universities are so adamant about imposing regulations that preserve academic integrity. If students fail to comply with these rules, they will be found “responsible” for academic misconduct - an outright violation of every school's code of conduct and an act that's perceived as reprehensible in academic settings. There is a wide range of actions that could constitute this type of conduct, including plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, complicity and more.

Alcohol

The majority of the colleges and universities have rules that pertain to alcohol possession and consumption while on campus. Obviously, some most institutions may restrict alcohol use for students under the age of 21, whereas others may have restrictions concerning alcohol use regardless of age. At most schools, there will be repercussions for providing alcohol to students who are underage.

Disorderly Conduct

A student who chooses to engage in behavior that is lewd, disruptive, or indecent will be accused of committing disorderly conduct. One does not have to intentionally engage to be found responsible for this misconduct. As long as the actions disturb the peaceful environment of the campus community, a student can and will be sanctioned.

Hazing

Hazing rituals still ensue in many colleges and universities. It is when these rituals get out of hand that they are considered a violation of school policy. If it is discovered that a hazing ritual includes conduct that endangers, degrades, or humiliates a person, the students involved will be sanctioned.

Sexual Misconduct

The rates of sexual misconduct are still on the rise in higher education. Hence why any actions that could potentially constitute sexual misconduct - sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, dating violence etc. - is a serious violation of every school's code of conduct, and most importantly, Title IX.

Theft

Theft is defined as taking or attempting to take the property of another without their consent. There are many different types of theft that are characterized by the circumstances in which something is stolen.
