Students will be held responsible for any actions that compromise the integrity of 91制片厂 and/or academic program, including their sport or other 91制片厂 organizations or programs with which they may be affiliated. They are also accountable for any behaviors that violate 91制片厂鈥檚 Student Conduct Code and federal, state, and local law. For example, photos or statements placed on these social networks that depict any type of harassment, vandalism, underage drinking or consumption of alcohol in violation of 91制片厂鈥檚 alcohol policy, hazing, and/or selling, possessing, or using controlled substances can be used by law enforcement as part of a criminal proceeding and/or 91制片厂 administrators in connection with conduct code proceedings and athletic department decisions regarding athletic eligibility.
