Cooperate with investigations, respect confidentiality, and abide by the outcomes, directives or sanctions imposed.

Do not take negative action against any person or group as a way to get back at them for something- especially if it is because they reported an incident, participated in an investigation, or stood up for their own rights or someone else's rights.

Ensure that guests on campus comply with university rules, as students are held responsible for the conduct of their guests.
