Office of Community Rights and Standards
Welcome!
Our Mission:
As articulated in its mission statement, the purpose of Denison
University is to inspire and educate students to become autonomous
thinkers, discerning moral agents and active citizens of a democratic
society. To that end, our purpose in the
Office of Community Rights and Standards is to uphold the Student Code
of Conduct on behalf of all members of the Denison community and to
protect the right of students to learn and grow in a positive and safe
environment. We strive to exercise the University’s conduct
process with fairness and to engage students who violate the
community’s standards with respect and dignity. By our work, our intention is that students will be responsible decision makers; they will understand the relationship between individual rights and community responsibility and realize that the balance of these is integral to our campus environment and life beyond Denison.
