The trustees, faculty and administration of The 香蕉視頻_91香蕉_蜜桃傳媒a are dedicated to cultivating a community that is committed to honesty, community and citizenship, respect, responsibility, and life-long learning.

It is expected that all members of the University community will obey the law, adhere to the Student Code of Conduct, and conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with a community of scholars. If members of the University community fall short of that expectation, fair conduct procedures have been developed to protect the interests of the University and the University community. The trustees affirm the ability of the University to protect its interests within the University community. The president of the University or their representative has the discretion to suspend or remove any student, registered student organization, visitor, guest, or other member of the University community whose presence is believed to be contrary to the best interests of the University community.

All students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. As a condition of enrollment and registration, students and officially registered student organizations agree to comply with all University policies outlined in the University Catalog, the Student Code of Conduct, and other official University publications and notices.

The 香蕉視頻_91香蕉_蜜桃傳媒a has established policies to preserve a learning environment that supports academic success, ensures the safety and well-being of the University community, promotes the development of responsible citizenship, and protects University property and the surrounding environment.

The University expects all students and registered student organizations to act as responsible citizens in alignment with the standards outlined in the Student Code of Conduct and will comply with all University policies as well as local, state, and federal laws.

The University reserves the right to discipline any student or revoke recognition with any registered student organization for conduct on or off campus that violates the Student Code of Conduct. This includes behavior that impairs, interferes with, or obstructs the mission, operations, or functions of the University. All reports of misconduct will be processed in accordance with the version of the Student Code of Conduct in effect during the academic year in which the report was received by the Office of Student Conduct.

Conduct procedures may occur before, during, or after any civil or criminal proceeding related to the same matter on or off campus. Sanctions may be imposed for the violations of any Student Code of Conduct policies that occur on or off campus and are designed to be educational and development as determined at the University's discretion.

The procedures outlined in the Student Code of Conduct are intended to promote fairness and will be followed as closely as possible. However, if exceptional circumstances require a deviation from these procedures, such deviation will not invalidate the outcome of the conduct process unless it clearly results in substantial prejudice to an accused student.

The University recognizes that all documented conduct violations are a part of the student’s educational record. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, these records are confidential and may only be accessed by individuals who meet the appropriate disclosure criteria. In cases involving a crime of violence or a sex offense, FERPA permits the University, at its discretion, to disclose the results of any related disciplinary proceeding to the complainant upon written request. The Office of Student Conduct will notify students of any disclosure of student conduct records under this provision.

For more information regarding FERPA contact The 香蕉視頻_91香蕉_蜜桃傳媒a Registrar’s Office. For more information related to the student conduct record retention policy contact the Office of Student Conduct. 

The University reserves the right to change the Student Code of Conduct at any time and this Code is not an express or implied contract between the student and the University. The University reserves the right to change, with or without notice, any provision, or requirements at any time to the fullest extent permitted by law.

A.     Statement of Purpose

1.       The 香蕉視頻_91香蕉_蜜桃傳媒a prioritizes the safety and personal well-being of its students. The University recognizes that in emergencies involving alcohol, drugs, hazing, and sexual misconduct and relationship violence the fear of disciplinary action may deter students from seeking help for themselves or others. To address this concern, the Medical Amnesty and Bystander Intervention Policy is designed to encourage students and their guests to seek emergency assistance by limiting potential disciplinary consequences. When an incident is determined to fall under these policies, it will not be recorded on a student’s educational record.

B.     Jurisdiction

1.       The 香蕉視頻_91香蕉_蜜桃傳媒a Medical Amnesty and Bystander Intervention Policy applies to incidents that occur both on campus and off-campus.

C.     Statement of Policy

1.       When a student or other individual bystander seeks assistance for themselves or another person experiencing an emergency involving alcohol, drugs, hazing, and sexual misconduct and relationship violence, by contacting emergency services, such as the Residence Life staff, Campus Safety, or the Tampa Police Department, neither the student(s) in need of medical attention nor the individual(s) reporting the emergency will  be subject to disciplinary action for the following Student Code of Conduct Violations:

a.       Alcohol.

b.       Drugs.

c.       Drug Paraphernalia.

d.       Hazing.

2.       However, in all incidents involving alcohol or other drug-related emergencies, the Office of Student Conduct reserves the right to pursue disciplinary action for any other alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct that are not covered under the Medical Amnesty and Bystander Intervention Policy.

D.     Definition of Medical Amnesty and Bystander Status

1.       “Medical Amnesty Status” is the designation assigned to a student who meets the criteria for medical amnesty, typically by seeking medical assistance for themselves in good faith during a medical emergency involving alcohol or drugs. Students granted this status are not subject to formal disciplinary action for specific conduct violations related to alcohol or drug use, provided they comply with institutional policy requirements.

2.       “Bystander Status” is the designation assigned to a student who actively assists in an emergency for someone else by contacting emergency professionals, communicating relevant information, and cooperating truthfully with emergency personnel and University officials. Bystander Status may also result in exemption from disciplinary action for certain conduct violations under the Medical Amnesty and Bystander Intervention Policy.

E.     Determination of Medical Amnesty and Bystander Status

1.       All information related to the incident will be documented by the responding University official(s) and forwarded to the Office of Student Conduct for review. The Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Conduct or designee will assess the report, meet with students involved, and determine whether the Medical Amnesty and Bystander Intervention Policy applies.

2.       If medical amnesty or bystander status is granted, no disciplinary action will be taken for the qualifying violations outlined in policy. Any additional actions deemed necessary will be determined in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct following the incident review meeting.

F.     Requirement of Medical Amnesty and Bystander Status

1.       Any student who is granted Amnesty or Bystander status because of an alcohol or other drug-related emergency will be required to:

a.       Complete additional measures determined at the sole discretion of the Office of Student Conduct to better support the individual student and the overall community when the student has experienced alcohol and other drug-related emergencies. This may include a follow-up meeting with Counseling Services for an Alcohol and Other Drug Assessment when appropriate.

2.       In addition, students granted Medical Amnesty or Bystander Status may be charged with a violation of Compliance with Directives under the Student Code of Conduct if they fail to complete any required assessments, educational interventions, or follow-up measures assigned as part of the Medical Amnesty and Bystander Invention process.

A.     Determination of Interim Actions

1.       Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Conduct, or designee may impose interim actions prior to, or during an Incident Review Meeting, student conduct hearing board, registered student organization investigation, and/or sexual misconduct and relationship violence investigation. Interim actions will be imposed in the following circumstances:

a.       To ensure the safety and well-being of members of the University community or to protect university property.

b.       To safeguard the physical or emotional safety and well-being of students.

c.       To preserve the integrity of the investigative and/or student conduct process.

d.       If a registered student organization poses a threat of disruption of or interference with the normal operations of the University; or

e.       In any other situation, where the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Conduct, or designee determines, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of the University or its community.

2.       The Office of Student Conduct shall have the sole authority within its discretion to determine and implement interim actions. It may select any action it deems necessary from all the available actions that it finds appropriate based on the specific circumstances. When an interim action is imposed, the Office of Student Conduct will initiate the formal student conduct process as promptly as possible ensuring compliance with applicable due process requirements. Students who are placed on an interim suspension may request a review within two (2) business days of the effective date of the interim suspension unless circumstances warrant an extension. The Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students and/or designee will conduct a review of any materials submitted by the student and will issue a written determination within five (5) business days after receipt of the materials. The determination will indicate whether the interim suspension is supported, modified, or revoked. Interim suspension reviews are not automatic and must be requested in writing by the student by the deadline listed in the interim suspension notification. Registered Student Organizations do not have the right to have an interim suspension reviewed.

B.     Interim Actions

Interim actions may include, but are not limited to:

1.       Interim Suspension: The Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Conduct and/or designee may impose an interim suspension on a student or registered student organization following a sufficient inquiry to determine that such action is appropriate.
