Statement of Philosophy As an academic community, Florida International University fosters the intellectual exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experience. It is the responsibility of the University to provide a stimulating environment in which scholarship and personal growth may occur. The desired effect is that students will take advantage of this environment to develop intellectually as well as participate as responsible, contributing citizens.
The uniqueness of the academic community requires particular sensitivity to the individual rights of students and to the maintenance of a safe environment for study, recreation, and personal growth. To this end, rules and regulations are imperative as a basis for the orderly conduct of University activities. Responsibilities and expectations must be clearly articulated to students. Inappropriate behavior must be challenged and addressed in a manner, which leads to the positive growth and development of those involved in the process. The rights of the community, as well as those of individuals, must be protected. When there is infringement, ensuing problems must be resolved in a manner, which protects both the accused and the University community. The judicial process holds student accountable in a fair, yet developmental manner. The judicial process utilizes educational, developmental and punitive sanctions when responding to infringements upon our standards.
