The Code of Student Conduct policies and procedures also apply to student organizations at UK. The Code outlines the following standards that will be considered when deciding whether conduct is associated with a student organization (SO):
- The conduct is endorsed by the SO or any of its officers (“endorsed by” includes, but is not limited to, the following: active or passive consent or support, having prior knowledge that the conduct was likely to occur, or helping to plan, advertise, or promote the conduct);
- The conduct is committed during the course of an activity paid for by the SO, or paid for as a result of one or more members of the SO contributing personal funds in lieu of organizational funds to support the activity or conduct in question;
- The conduct occurred on property owned, controlled, rented, leased, or used by the SO or any of its members for an organizational event;
- The purpose of the activity was related to initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in the SO;
- Non‐members of the SO learned of the activity through members, advertisements, or communications associated with the SO, or otherwise formed a reasonable belief that the conduct or activity was affiliated with or endorsed by the SO;
- Members of the SO attempted to conceal the activity or protect other members who were involved; or
- One or more officer(s) of the SO had prior knowledge or reasonably should have known that the conduct would take place.
