University Conduct Board
Philosophy
The basic philosophy of accountability (discipline) at URI is one
of education. As such, it focuses on the growth and development of
individual students by encouraging self-discipline and fostering respect
for the rights and privileges of others.
The formal responsibility of accountability has been delegated to
the Conduct Board (CBoard). The goal of the board is to redirect
the behavior of a student into acceptable patterns and protect the rights
of others in the URI community.
Peer influence, exercised through the student discipline process,
can often be more effective in redirecting the behavior patters of
students than any other method of accountability within the institution.
The student discipline system presents an opportunity for students
to communicate to fellow students the attitudes that seem most conducive
to creating a positive environment within the academic community.
There is no substitute for fairness, objectivity and good judgment.
The success of the board is contingent upon the conviction
of its members to achieve a suitable campus environment while affording
individual students maximum freedom within institutional guidelines.
