Organizational Sanctions
Organizational sanctions. A student organization found responsible for a violation or violations under the Student Honor Code or Student Conduct Code shall be subject to sanctions commensurate with the offense with consideration given to any aggravating or mitigating circumstances, including but not limited to the organization's conduct record. It is the organization's responsibility to review its conduct record, and the organization will be deemed to have knowledge of its record of previous conduct violations and sanctions, whether or not it chooses to review its record.
(a) Written Reprimand: The student organization is given formal written notice and official recognition that the behavior has violated the Student Conduct Code.
(b) Loss of University Privileges: Loss of University privileges comprises the denial of specific University privileges including, but not limited to loss of social activities, inability to host a party or philanthropy, loss of ability to participate in intramurals, loss of ability to represent the University and any travel in connection with such representation, loss of recruitment/pledge class, loss of membership or representation of the organization on the governing council, loss of ability to reserve space for meetings/events on campus, loss of block seating, loss of ability to participate in competitions, and loss of or ineligibility to receive future institutional funding.
(c) Conduct Probation: The student organization is deemed not in good standing with the University. Organizations on conduct probation may not represent the University in any official capacity, and restrictions on an organization on conduct probation include loss of block seating and loss of ability to participate in intramural sports or other intercollegiate competitions. The duration of any probation period or any conditions or sanctions imposed for the violation shall be in proportion to the seriousness of the violation and imposed on an individual basis by the sanctioning authority. Conduct probation includes the loss of privileges listed above and any additional privileges as appropriate. Organizations placed on conduct probation are subject to suspension or expulsion should they violate policies while on conduct probation.

The suspension will be automatically enforced upon any subsequent violation of the Student Honor Code or Student Conduct Code, as applicable. The sanctioning authority will specify when issuing a deferred suspension, which violations will automatically trigger the enforcement of the deferred suspension. If an organization commits a violation of the Student Honor Code or Student Conduct Code, as applicable, while on deferred suspension and is found responsible, the organization is automatically suspended in addition to the other sanctions imposed for the subsequent violation.
