SPONSORING AND CHAPERONING
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
The extracurricular programs of the University are under the
general supervision of the Office of Student Affairs. Each organization on
campus must file a copy of its constitution with the Vice President for Student
Affairs and must select a faculty/staff sponsor subject to the approval of the
Vice President for Student Affairs.
THE SPONSOR
The sponsor of a student organization is responsible for all
social functions scheduled by the organization. The sponsor insures that all
social functions are governed by rules of good behavior and that State laws are
adhered to, including laws governing the authorized use of State-owned property
and those prohibiting gambling, the use or possession of alcoholic beverages,
the use or possession of firearms, and the use or possession of fireworks in any
University building or on the University campus. In addition, the sponsor has
other responsibilities, including the fiscal management of the organization, the
scheduling of faculty or staff members to chaperone all social events, and an
overall commitment to directing, guiding, counseling, and advising the
organization as to conduct and individual responsibilities during scheduled
events on campus and off.
CHAPERONES
Faculty and staff personnel who agree to chaperone a student
activity on campus must be present for the scheduled event thirty minutes before
it begins and must remain until all students have departed. The chaperone must
assume general responsibility for discipline and must contact security personnel
if a physical disturbance arises. If for any reason a chaperone cannot attend an
event as planned, he/she should notify the Vice President for Student Affairs.
