IX. Judicial Policy I. Introduction Students at Southwestern University accept membership in an academic community dedicated to the pursuit of intellectual and personal growth. Southwestern University men and women are expected to conform to high standards of adult behavior, consistent with the University’s Core Values. The purpose of the Southwestern University judicial process is to review alleged violations of University policies, procedures, and regulations by individual students, groups of students, or student organizations (see definitions in Section XVIII of this policy). The various components of the judicial process are designed to respond to such violations, to determine facts based on a standard of preponderance of the evidence, to ascertain responsibility, including guilt or innocence of the accused, and to determine appropriate sanctions. II. Jurisdiction Southwestern University reserves the right to review and respond to oncampus violations of the University’s policies. In addition to incidents that occur on the University campus, the University may take disciplinary action in response to incidents that take place during official functions of the University, those sponsored by registered student organizations, or incidents that have a substantial connection to the interests of Southwestern University, regardless of the location in which they occur. In the case of criminal conviction during enrollment, the University reserves the right to pursue judicial action. An action involving a student in a legal proceeding in civil or criminal court does not affect the University’s ability to pursue its own internal judicial proceedings. The University’s judicial process operates independently from criminal and civil procedures. To the extent that any officer of a student organization was in a position to control, substantially influence, or intervene in the conduct of the organization or any of its members so as to prevent or deter a violation of University policy or policies, and failed to do so, the officer may be charged with, and held additionally responsible for the violation committed by the student organization or its members.
