What is my responsibility as an employee of Marshall University?<\/h3>\n

Most students come to college with fears and uncertainty. Whether they are right out of high school or returning to college after a decade or more in the workplace, students fear failing tests, not fitting in with peers, and appearing ignorant in front of their classmates. Being afraid to ask questions, express opinions, or join group discussions can greatly hinder a student’s learning.<\/p>\n

But you can create an environment that nurtures their confidence and allows them to explore and expand their knowledge without undue risk or fear. You can ensure that the campus environment supports your safety by being aware of your campus emergency resources. You can also have a very strong impact on the tone of the campus environment by employing simple behavioral management techniques from the first day and being consistent. Finally, you can help develop your students’ sense of integrity, social responsibility, and professionalism through Marshall’s Student Rights and Responsiblities.<\/p>\n

All students and employees of the University are expected to know and understand the Student Rights and Responsibilities and confront situations that violate these terms. If you witness violations of the university’s Standards of Conduct, then you should file a report with our office. Anonymous reporting of incidents is allowed but discouraged, because it limits the ability of the office to gather further information and adequately address the issue. Every effort will be made to protect confidentiality of witnesses, where possible, particularly where a safety concern exists.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\tSubmit a Report<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\n
