Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0240-10-06-.01 - INTRODUCTION
(1) The matriculation of a student at the
University of Memphis is a voluntary entrance into the academic community. By
such voluntary entrance, the student assumes obligations of performance and
behavior reasonably imposed by the University relevant to its lawful missions,
processes, and functions. In some instances, these obligations may be higher
than those imposed on individuals by civil and criminal law.
(2) The University has established the
Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities ("Student Code") in order to
advance the mission of the University by maintaining a safe and secure learning
environment, protecting the rights and privileges of all members of the
University community, providing a basis for the orderly conduct of the affairs
of the University, promoting a positive relationship between the University and
its surrounding community, preserving institutional integrity and property,
encouraging students to engage in conduct that brings credit to themselves and
the University, and ensuring that each student who matriculates at the
University graduates ready to contribute to society as an ethical and
responsible individual.
(3)
Students are responsible for being fully acquainted and for complying with this
rule and other processes relating to students. Each student member of the
University of Memphis community bears responsibility for their conduct.
Students also assume reasonable responsibility for the behavior of others. When
student members of the University community fail to or refuse to comply with
the rules and requirements established by the University, they may be subject
to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from the
University.
(4) The University of
Memphis is committed to respecting students' constitutional rights. Nothing in
this chapter is intended or shall be interpreted to restrict students'
constitutional rights, including, but not limited to, rights of freedom of
speech and assembly.
(5) Authority
and responsibility relating to the Student Code are delegated to the Dean of
Students, or designee.
