Background
The mission of the Office of Community Standards, formerly the Office of Judicial Affairs, is to promote the mutual responsibility
of members of the Stanford community to uphold the Honor Code and Fundamental Standard. The office coordinates the student
conduct system, including administering the formal disciplinary processes and the informal resolution of concerns. The office
strives to resolve cases of alleged misconduct in a fair, responsible, and timely manner emphasizing Stanford's core values
of respect, trust, and integrity. Through both policies and practices the office seeks to foster student development and learning.
It plays a primary role in educating and training students, faculty, and staff about their shared responsibility to maintain
community standards.
