(1) University residents are responsible for adjudicating most alleged violations of the code that are committed by students living in campus residence halls and apartments.

(2) The dean of students has the authority to designate which area will consider an alleged violation of the code, or whether the alleged violation will be coadjudicated by university residences and the conduct officer.

(a) Alleged acts or threats of physical violence or sexual misconduct;

(b) Alleged violations of the distribution or sale of drugs or other controlled substances;

(c) Alleged violations by nonresidential students while in campus residence halls or apartments or at university residences' sponsored programs, events, or activities;

(d) Alleged violations that occur near the end of the term or after a residential student's contract with university residences has ended;

(e) Alleged violations involving the misuse of computers, electronic data and/or communication systems, particularly when the victims of the alleged conduct are nonresidential students (e.g., sending unsolicited mass e-mails, copyright violations); and

(f) Alleged violations severe enough to result in eviction from campus residence halls or apartments and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
