University disciplinary proceedings may be instituted against a student or Registered Student Organization (RSO) charged with conduct that potentially violates criminal or civil law and this policy (that is if both possible violations result from the same factual situation). Proceedings under this policy may be initiated and carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings at the sole discretion of the Director of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity (SCAI) or designee. Determinations made or sanctions imposed under this policy shall not be subject to change because of the criminal or civil outcomes.
