The Office of Community Standards strives to resolve cases in a fair, equitable and educational manner while promoting both the holistic development of each student and the safety of the Miami community.
Find out more about the Office of Community Standards and what we do. You can meet our staff, get involved as a volunteer, and learn more about our partner offices.
We acknowledge students’ ability to grow from their experiences and therefore seek to facilitate learning through reflective processes that uphold the values stated in Miami’s Code of Love and Honor. While doing so, we are committed to maintaining a process that promotes the respect and dignity of all members of our community and that encourages students to accept responsibility for their actions and seek to repair harm.
The Office of Community Standards believes that it is important to provide students with as much context as possible as you engage with our office. The resources found in this section are meant to provide you with additional information as you navigate the process.
Title IX is a federal law passed in 1972 which states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Miami University responds to any report of a Title IX violation. These violations include sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual harassment.
