Student Unions & Activities: Handbook: Respectful Community Members

Respectful Community Members

Student Unions & Activities is proud of the diverse array of student groups registered with our office. It is our expectation that individuals involved in student groups and groups as a whole will be respectful members of our community.

Student Unions & Activities expects all student groups and their members to abide by state law. Minnesota law provides that certain harmful conduct may constitute a crime, or elevate a crime to an aggravated crime, when it is motivated by the victim’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, or national origin. Should your group be involved in a hate crime, sanctions will follow. Should your group be the victim of a hate crime, please notify us immediately for assistance.
