RESOLUTION 50

A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT ENCOURAGING NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY TO REVIEW JUDICIAL ACTION AGAINST STUDENTS FOR ACTIONS THAT OCCUR OFF UNIVERSITY PROPERTY.

Short Title: Off Campus Conduct Act. (Public)

Sponsored by: Senators FABRICIUS and PALIN

First Reading: January 17, 2001 Version Date: January 28, 2001

Referred to: Campus Life Committee.

WHEREAS, North Carolina State University's foremost purpose is to serve as a public institution of higher learning; and,

WHEREAS, in order to maintain the synergistic relationship between students and North Carolina State University, it is necessary that a body of rules and regulations exist governing the students’ relationship to the University; and,

WHEREAS, The Code of Student Conduct was created to fill the need to govern the students’ relationship with the University; and,

WHEREAS, the Code of Student Conduct attempts to regulate conduct beyond the students relationship with the University by stating:

"The University reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well being of the campus community and to support the mission of the University. Such action may include taking disciplinary action as outlined in this Code against those students whose behavior off-campus poses a potential danger to others, to self or would otherwise disrupt the campus environment or adversely affect the University."

WHEREAS, the authority to regulate off campus actions grants North Carolina State University jurisdiction unprecedented by local, state, federal or international law; and,

WHEREAS, the off campus conduct clause of the Code of Student Conduct is broad and has the express intent to be subjectively enforced; now, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the North Carolina State University Student Senate calls on North Carolina State University to reexamine portions of the Code of Student Conduct pertaining to Off Campus Conduct.
