- 9.a Campus residents. When the rights of other students are infringed upon by the behavior of a resident, the student may be refused further campus living accommodations or may be required to comply with conditions established by the Department of Residence Life to continue living on campus. Such conditions may be developed in consultation with the Counseling Center staff. Other actions may be taken as outlined in the Residence Life License Contract or as a result of a disciplinary proceeding under Rights and Responsibilities of Community: A Code of Student Behavior.
