Recently a number of students have been reported for shoplifting from the P.O.D. Convenience Store in Usdan. This behavior is counter to our core values of Citizenship, Integrity, Respect and Civility at Brandeis. Theft and attempted theft are a violation of section 6.2 of Rights and Responsibilities. Please remind fellow community members of who we are, and what we stand for at Brandeis University.

Rights and Responsibilities Feedback
We want your opinions, ideas, concerns, and feedback.
Confused about academic integrity expectations? Have an idea about how drug and alcohol use can be addressed? Do you think any of the policies are just plain wrong?
Take a look at Rights and Responsibilities in your student handbook or on this website, and send along your feedback. Email may be sent to Erika Lamarre, Director of Student Development and Conduct at elamarre@brandeis.edu
Student Development and Conduct (SDC) offers students educational opportunities for personal growth, and values clarification. Our aim is to educate the campus about issues central to the mission of the institution, and to react to inappropriate behavior in a fair and responsive manner. The SDC staff provides education and outreach efforts regarding alcohol and other drug use, student involvement on campus, academic integrity, and leadership development.
The student conduct system is based on established expectations and standards of behavior at Brandeis as described in Rights and Responsibilities, and also relies on a peer judgment model. At the heart of this process is the University Board on Student Conduct, a student, faculty and staff panel that hears select cases of alleged student misconduct.
