Any changes in information occurring during the academic year should be reported in writing to the Director within one week of the change. Compliance with Kutztown University’s Regulations and the Law Student organizations that support an organized program of activities play an important part in total university life and must, therefore, exercise judgment and responsibility, individually, as members, and collectively as organizations. The purpose and activities of each student organization will conform to and comply with federal, state and local laws and policies and regulations of Kutztown University and the Student Government Association. Student organizations and their officers and advisors are responsible and accountable for all actions of the organization. Any violations of law or rules and regulations of Kutztown University or its Student Government Association may be considered violations by the organization and its officers and shall be processed in accordance with the Document on Student Rights and Welfare, Student Code of Conduct and Student Organization Conduct Review Process, as well as federal and state law. Advisors and officers are liable only when violations of law are observed and reasonable steps are not taken to terminate and/or prevent a reoccurrence of unlawful activity by an announcement that Commonwealth laws will be followed and an expulsion of the offenders from the premises occurs. Organizations which violate Kutztown University or Student Government regulations are subject to disciplinary action.

In order to comply with the University’s commitment to non-discrimination, no organization shall illegally discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, parental status, or veteran’s status. Registration of a student organization by the University shall not imply support for any student organization’s purpose, philosophy, or activity. The University will not assume any legal liability for activities of student organizations.
