Inherent Authority
The University reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the campus community to enforce the Code of Student Conduct both on and off the University premises. Students have the responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates their respect for the rights of others. Also, individuals engaging in activities off-campus have a responsibility to conduct such activities within the laws and ordinances of the community. Violations of University policies off-campus may be considered a violation of the UJ Standards of Conduct where such violation interferes with the mission of the University and presents a danger to the health, safety and well-being of others. For example, students accused of violating a federal, state and/or local drug laws on or off-campus which is considered a felony under federal, state or local law, may face action under the University Code of Conduct, including interim suspension pending a University hearing, prior to or concurrent with any criminal proceeding.
