Judicial Affairs
The
Dean
of
Students Office
oversees
the
judicial
system
and
is
responsible
for
holding
students
and
student
groups
accountable
to
the
rules
and
regulations
of
Winthrop
University
as
defined
in
the
Student
Conduct Code. All
students
should
be
familiar
with
the
expectations
as
outlined
in
the
Student
Handbook
and
with
the
procedures
for
resolving
alleged
violations.
Judicial
proceedings
are
viewed
as
an
important
part
of
the
educational
mission
of
Winthrop
University
and
they
are
not
designed
to
be
a
court
of
law. The Dean or designee
handling
alleged
infractions
is
committed
to
administering
a
fundamentally fair process and assisting students in learning
from their
involvement
with
the
matter at hand and the educational system in place to resolve
allegations of misbehavior.
A University is a community of learning that is characterized by shared respect
and a concern for the common good while in the pursuit of intellectual,
cultural, personal, and social growth. Good order is an indication that a
community is achieving the goals it has set for itself. The rules and
regulations provide the basis for this order with each individual and group
member of the community supporting the well being of all. However rules
and regulations are useless without the values that provide the foundation.
Winthrop students acknowledge these values by affirming the
