15. Office of Student Conduct

16. Office of Student Conduct • Administers the Code of Student Conduct • Our mission is to create a safe learning environment and to help student nurture respect for self, respect for others, and respect for community. • Adjudicates instances of alleged non-academic misconduct • The Code applies to all students

17. Code of student Conduct Sets forth the non-academic, behavioral standards that the University expects its students and student groups to meet, the procedural protections that responding students, groups and complainants have, and the process by which violations are addressed. conduct.tulane.edu/resources/code-student-conduct

18. Jurisdiction • The Tulane Code applies on and off campus. • It applies to electronic domains. • University may choose to apply the Code at any time and any context in which it has an identifiable interest. • Applies to all full- and part-time University students, graduate, professional or doctoral students, and student employees. • A person becomes a student when the person is “in attendance” at the University. They are “in attendance” when the student has deposited and registered for an academic term. • A student is deemed enrolled throughout their time here (summer, study abroad, suspension included).

19. Incident Reports • Tulane.edu/concerns • TUPD • RA’s • Neighbors • Concerned students • Anonymous reporters • Case Management and Victim Support Services

20. Major Violations vs. Minor Violations • Major Violations • Used for more serious charges where suspension or expulsion can result. A University Investigator will be assigned to fully investigate and adjudicate the matter. • Sexual misconduct • Drug dealing • Weapons • Physical violence • Hazing Minor Violations Educational Conferences- a developmental conversation which does not result in a “conduct record”, but may result in a Learning Action Plan with required educational activities. Administrative Hearing- a one on one adjudication that may result in a finding of responsibility and both status and educational sanctions.

21. Burden of proof The burden of proof used in all conduct cases is a preponderance of the evidence. Under this standard of proof, the adjudicator will need to determine if it is more likely than not that the accused student committed the alleged violation.

22. Concerns Report • The online submission system is designed to solicit the concern of members of the Tulane community. • ALL Concerns Reports are followed up on • Corey Motley, Administrative Program Coordinator, assigns student follow-up based on the nature of the report (CMVSS, Conduct, HRL, Reily, etc.). • Each CMVSS case is assigned to a specific Case Manager. • Outreach to students is triaged based on priority and presenting concerns.
