Campus Violence Policy

Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 416.0 (Revised February 6, 2017)

The University of Arkansas is committed to providing a safe learning, living, and working enviornment for its students, faculty, staff, affiliates, and visitors.  In this regard, the University of Arkansas will take reasonable action to provide an environment free from violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior whether it occurs on campus or at off-campus locations under the control of the University. It is the policy of the University of Arkansas that campus violence in any form is unacceptable.  Any form of violence by a member of the University community will be cause for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal consistent with applicable University policies and may also result in criminal prosecution, if federal, state or local laws are violated. Campus violence committed or threatened by an individual(s) from outside of the University community will be appropriately handled by the University of Arkansas Police Department and sent for referral to available legal processes where necessary. For procedures on reporting and action, see Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 416.0 (Revised February 6, 2017).
