In healthy communities organized along democratic principles, participants recognize rights as well as responsibilities. This section of the Catalog outlines certain rights and responsibilities as they apply to students, including:
- Discussion of Cincinnati State’s embrace of a broad statement of Student Rights and Freedoms
- Specific legal rights that are detailed in state and federal law involving privacy and discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like.
- A student’s right to be free from sexual harassment, and to enjoy a drug-free environment.
The section on responsibilities deals mainly with the Student Code of Conduct, the College’s policy on responsible use of information technology and peer-to-peer file sharing, and other non-academic policies of the College.
The College’s policy on Academic Integrity is covered in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this Catalog.
