Registered Student Organization (RSO) Conduct Report

The University of Richmond's Registered Student Organization Conduct Report includes findings of responsibility not only for hazing reports as required by Va. Code § 23.1-822 (Adam’s Law) but also for all other violations by a registered student organization of University policy since July 1, 2022.

This report is designed to be broad in scope to help students interested in joining a registered student organization make informed decisions about their participation and includes findings of responsibility for violations of the Standards of Student Conduct, the Registered Student Organization Handbook, and/or other University policies by all registered student organizations.

The Student Organization Conduct Process is outlined in the Student Organization Handbook. Charges for which a registered student organization was found not responsible are not included in this report.

This report is regularly updated each semester. Any questions about this report can be directed to the Director of Student Involvement.
