The Institute places great value on freedom of expression, but it also recognizes the responsibility to protect the values and structures of an academic community. It is important, therefore, that students assume responsibility for helping to sustain an educational and social community where the rights of all are respected. This includes conforming their behavior to standards of conduct that are designed to protect the health, safety, dignity, and the rights of all. Community members also have a responsibility to protect the possessions, property, and integrity of the institution as well as of individuals. In the event that a student organization violates a BAMSI regulation, the organization, as well as its individual members, may be held accountable for the violation and sanctioned by the Institute. Finally, students should also realize that they have the responsibility to ensure that their guests do not violate BAMSI policies, rules, and regulations while visiting and that student hosts may be subject to disciplinary action for misbehavior of their guests.
