Office of the Dean of Students
Welcome to the Miami Family
• What are your goals?
• Why did you choose Miami University?
• What are our shared values?
• Who are we (Dean of Students office)?
Code of Love and Honor
• I stand for honesty, integrity, and the importance of moral
conduct.
• I respect the dignity, rights, and property of others and their
right to hold and express disparate beliefs.
• I defend the freedom of inquiry that is the heart of learning
• I exercise good judgment and believe in personal responsibility.
• I welcome a diversity of people, ideas, and experiences
• I act through my words and deeds in ways that reflect these
values and beliefs.
Goals and Choices – Alcohol Use
• Respect for the law
• Alcohol use can derail your plans/goals
• Alcohol use can negatively impact the plans/goals of
others in community
Miami/Oxford Environment
• Most students enter Miami as non-drinkers.
• First six weeks:
• Searching for community.
• Non-alcohol events: Rec Center, Armstrong, first-year halls, 500
orgs, …
• Oxford house parties/uptown district: fake IDs; “jungle juice”;
holding cup
• Our values:
• Respect each others’ choices
• Look out for each other
• Talk with your parents
Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence
• Miami is generally a “safe place” – review our crime statistics
• Often crime and code of conduct violations involve alcohol
• A perpetrator of an offense is responsible for their actions
• It is never the victim/survivor’s fault
• Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence:
• Majority of incidents involves individuals who know each other
• Alcohol is often used in an incident, but is not involved all incidents
• EX: stalking (cyber and/or in person); not clearly obtaining consent;
mental and/or emotional abuse; unwanted kissing or touching;
unable to provide consent when substantially intoxicated; . . .
