2.3.1 : Responsibility for Student Conduct

A.    The authority of the President to maintain standards of student conduct at Greenville University has been delegated to the Dean of Students and the Director of Community Standards and Campus Safety. In addition to contacting students involved in alleged incidents, they are fully responsible for the implementation of the procedures and sanctions resulting from disciplinary proceedings.

B.    Students will be responsible for their own behavior and for the behavior of others who share the Greenville University community. Healthy and honest relationships are the basis for positive community life. Scripture gives instruction in how to live in a Christian community. Jesus said people should examine their own lives before trying to correct someone else’s (Matthew 7:4). An important part of sharing Christian community is caring about each other’s needs and troubles (Galatians 6:2). Each member of the community is responsible for clearing up any misunderstandings that might occur (Matthew 5:23–24). There may be times when one member of a community must confront another member but that is to be done with an attitude of love and a desire to restore the broken relationship (Matthew 18:15–20). The goal of the Christian community is to reconcile people with God, with each other, and with the community (2 Corinthians 5:18–20).
