A student
enrolling at WKU assumes the obligation for conduct in a manner compatible
with the university's function as an educational institution. Acts of
misconduct for which students are subject to discipline include:
1. Physical
abuse of any person on university owned or controlled property or at
university sponsored or supervised function, or conduct which threatens
or endangers the health or safety of any such person.
2. Sexual
assault, including but not limited to sexual misconduct or abuse, rape,
acquaintance rape, sodomy, or any non-consenual sexual contact. Where
there is probable cause to believe that the university regulations prohibiting
sexual assault have been violated, the university will pursue strong
disciplinary action through its own channels. This discipline includes
the possibility of suspension or dismissal from the university even
if prosecution does not take place through the criminal justice system.
3. Theft
or damage to property of the university or a member of the university
community or campus visitor.
4. Disorderly
conduct or lewd, indecent or obscene conduct or expression on university
owned or controlled property or at university sponsored or supervised
functions.
5. Obstruction or disruption which interferes with the freedom of movement, either
pedestrian or vehicular, on institutionally owned or controlled property.
6. Possession or use of firearms, explosives, dangerous chemicals or other dangerous
weapons or instrumentalities on institutionally owned or controlled
property.

entry or use of institutional facilities, including buildings and grounds.

permitted by law.
