This definition of hazing extends to and prohibits the same activities both on campus and off campus, including activities taking place at or on privately owned facilities and property. Students should be aware that many acts that constitute hazing may also be punishable as violations of federal, state or law or as violations of other Elmhurst policies, including but not limited to the Code of Conduct and the Non-Discrimination/Non-Harassment Policy.
INSURANCE FOR PROPERTY
62
Compensation for loss or damage to personal property on campus is not a College responsibility. Residential students are encouraged to consider an optional renter’s insurance policy, available in the Office of Residence Life or through a provider of their choice. If a dependent, the student should check the parent(s)’ respective policies.
MEDIA 1. An enrolled student, an invited group or a recognized student organization may distribute written material on campus without prior approval providing such distribution does not disrupt the operations of the institution. For informational purposes, however, a copy of all materials distributed should be provided to the Office of Communications and Public Affairs and the Dean of Students before distribution. 2. The student press is to be free of censorship. The student press shall consist of all student publications officially recognized by the College. The editors and managers will not be arbitrarily suspended because of student, faculty, administration, alumni or community or the Student Government Association’s disapproval of editorial policy or content. Similar freedom is assured oral statements of editorial views on WRSE-FM. This editorial freedom entails a corollary obligation under the canons of responsible journalism and applicable regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. 3. All student communications shall explicitly state on the editorial page or in broadcast that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of Elmhurst College or its student body. 4. The Student Government Association recognizes the autonomy of The Leader, WRSE-FM, MiddleWestern Voice and the Elms. It is the College’s and Student Government Association’s position that there should be a healthy working relationship with each media organization. 5. The management of each media organization shall be responsible for the daily functions of their respective organization. Each media organization is responsible for the general maintenance of its equipment.
