Registered Student Organization (RSO) Conduct Report (Spring 2024)

Sanction Definitions

The following sanctions for student organizations are defined in section VII.B of the Student Code of Conduct, as follows. If there is any conflict between the Student Code of Conduct and this webpage, the Student Code of Conduct controls.

Warning is a written notice to the respondent to avoid a recurrence of any conduct that violates this policy and/or any university policy. Subsequent violations of this policy or any university policy may result in more severe disciplinary action.

Disciplinary Probation is a specified period, a minimum of one semester, requiring the respondent to avoid a recurrence of any conduct that violates this policy and/or any university policy that may result in additional university sanctions, including, but not limited to, deferred suspension, suspension or expulsion.
Restitution is monetary recompense to the university and/or a member of the university community or others to cover the cost of damage, injury, or loss of community or personal property as a result of a violation.
Deferred suspension is a designated period during which a respondent SO is given the opportunity to demonstrate the ability to abide by this policy. Subsequent violations of this policy during the term of a deferred suspension will result in suspension.
Loss of privileges is a denial, for a designated period of time, of access to university services, privileges, and benefits, which may impact participating in extracurricular activities and intramurals, residing in university housing, maintaining university student leadership responsibilities, serving in leadership roles within student organizations, participating in academic activities, reserving university space, accessing funding, and studying abroad.

Loss of privileges for student organizations may also include, but not limited to, the inability to host events with or without alcohol, participating in other organizations’ events, and recruiting new members. Loss of privileges specific to individuals do not impact individuals within a student organization unless they are serving as individually as a respondent.
Suspension is removal of recognition by the university of a respondent SO for a defined period during which the SO is prohibited from operating. As a result, the SO is denied all university privileges and resources, which generally includes access to programs, funding, activities, services, and property. The terms of suspension for an SO may require the SO to satisfy certain conditions before it may resume operations following suspension. If the SO also holds a charter from an inter/national organization governing body, the university may also request that the inter/national organization governing body revoke the charter of the SO.

A SO that wishes to be recognized by the university after loss of recognition must fulfill all requirements for a new SO. Suspension of a student organization does not result in a sanction or transcript notation for individual student members of the student organization; individual students who are members of a student organization may be found in violation of university policy and assigned sanctions from separate adjudication as an individual respondent.

Educational experiences, defined in section VII.B of the Student Code of Conduct, may include the following examples, some of which are available only to certain organization(s) through their relationship with a university support office or inter/national network:

Check-In Meetings: Regularly scheduled meeting with Headquarters, Advisers, or VCU staff to for purposes of support and supervision.

College Panhellenic Council (CPC) meeting and presentation: The CPS is the governing body that consists of representatives from women’s organizations that are part of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC).
