Part 2.
2.1 University Student Conduct System has jurisdiction over all alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct by any student or recognized student organization that may be brought to its attention. Students and student organizations may be responsible for the conduct of their guests. Jurisdiction of the University Student Conduct System extends to alleged misconduct that takes place on University owned or controlled property or on property close to the University, including the Greek chapter houses; alleged misconduct that takes place at any University sponsored event; and alleged misconduct that has an impact on the educational mission and well-being of the University community that takes place at any location off campus and/or virtually. The Code of Student Conduct applies from the time of a student’s acceptance of admission until the time they graduate or otherwise permanently separate from the University including all university breaks and holidays
2.2 The University Student Conduct System has jurisdiction over complaints against students alleging sex discrimination including sexual and gender-based harassment, assault, and violence. The Syracuse University Sexual Harassment, Abuse, and Assault Prevention Policy applies to all University programs and activities.
2.3 University student conduct proceedings are administrative in nature and independent of any criminal and/or civil legal proceedings that may be concurrently in process. University student conduct proceedings are intended to enforce the Code of Student Conduct and other University policies at Syracuse University although the conduct in question may be simultaneously in violation of federal, state or local laws. The University may notify local and federal authorities when a crime is alleged to have been committed, but such notification will not modify the University’s authority to adjudicate the alleged misconduct through its own student conduct system.
