Introduction
The University of Hawai'i at Manoa exists for the pursuit of knowledge
through teaching, learning, and research conducted in an atmosphere of
physical and intellectual freedom. Moreover, members of the UH academic
community are committed to engage in teaching, learning, research, and
community service and to assist one another in the creation and maintenance
of an environment which supports these activities. It is therefore the policy
of the University that members of the academic community may not violate the
rights of one another nor disrupt the basic activities of the institution (as
provided in section 1-4, chapter 1 of the Board of Regents' Bylaws and
Policies [Part D]). Students who are disruptive are, consequently, subject
to a variety of academically related penalities which may include reprimand,
probation, restitution, suspension or explusion.
It must be recognized that members of the academic community have the same
privileges and responsibilities with respect to the law as do members of the
larger society. As a result, members of the UHM campus community must
acknowledge that when the interests of the University are violated by a
student, the student is accountable to the institution and may also be held
responsible to civil authorities. These interests of the University are
described in the Student Conduct Code referred to in this document as Conduct
Code.
Any questions regarding the Conduct Code should be addressed to the Office of
the Dean of Students, Bachman Annex 10, phone V/TT 956-3290.
