Article 6.7 Nonacademic Disciplinary Procedures
Sec. 6.7.1 General Responsibility, Procedures and Types of Discipline
The general responsibility for nonacademic discipline of all students at the University of Louisville shall be vested in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. The Office will promulgate and administer the Code of Student Conduct approved by the President or designee.
If the student is found to have committed conduct prohibited by the Code of Student Conduct, an appropriate sanction(s) shall be imposed by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Sec. 6.7.2 Procedure
In each case where the decision results in separation from the University, or a recommendation to withhold or revoke a degree, the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs shall so notify the dean of the academic unit in which the student has been enrolled.
When the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs initially assumes jurisdiction of an alleged offense, that office may deem it necessary to exclude the student from the University campuses immediately while an initial investigation is made. This action shall be taken to: ensure the safety and wellbeing of members of the University community; to preserve University property; to ensure a student’s own physical or emotional wellbeing; or if the student poses an ongoing threat of disruption to the normal operations of the University.
Sec. 6.7.3 Appeals
The Code of Student Conduct will provide an appeal process when the decision results in separation from the University, withholding a degree, or revoking a degree.
