Proposed changes to the University of Wisconsin Systemâ??s non-academic misconduct policy would make it easier for university administrators to penalize students for misbehaving off campus.
According to a report recently released by a UW System policy revision committee, the proposed policy changes to Wisconsin Administrative Code UWS 17 would make explicitly clear that university officials can sanction students for off-campus misconduct, including municipal violations, if that misconduct adversely affects a substantial university interest.
