For the purpose of promoting its educational mission, the University of Miami and the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM) have the inherent right to preserve order and maintain stability through the setting of standards of conduct and the prescribing of procedures for the enforcement of such standards.
In addition to maintaining order and stability, the University aims to utilize its disciplinary procedure as a developmental process whenever possible. In accordance with this philosophy, educational assignments may be added to any disciplinary penalties. The foundation underlying such student standards relies on the tenet that the exercise of individual rights must be accompanied by an equal amount of responsibility. This assures that the same rights are not denied to others. By becoming a member of the University community, a student acquires rights in, as well as responsibilities to, the whole University community. These rights and responsibilities are defined within this handbook, as shown below.
