TThe University Code of Student Conduct states that students are “to be positive contributors to the University, Ashland and the surrounding communities,” “… to treat others courteously and with respect,” and “to exhibit conduct appropriate to a learning atmosphere and to respect the rights, dignity and worth of every individual in the University community.” Engaging in behavior that is violent, abusive, indecent or profane is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Students of SOU should strive to build community through open and honest communication that is based upon a mutual respect. This type of positive behavior allows communities to flourish.
