Hosting Gatherings

In effort to provide safe environments, and in support of local laws and ordinances, all students hosting gatherings on or off campus are expected to ensure that their event does not disturb or impact the peace of others or provide, promote, or allow substances, activities, or behavior in violation of university policies or locals laws and ordinances. This includes but is not limited to: excessive noise; violent, offensive, disorderly behavior, or quarrelsome conduct; providing or allowing prohibited substances or the space in which to consume such substances; traffic obstruction of public or private streets by crowds of vehicles; litter; etc. Any student who hosts or participates in such an activity may be subject to disciplinary process.

Students should be aware that gatherings at their residence may grow beyond their ability to control due to word of mouth or social and other electronic media. Students will be viewed as hosts in this type of situation and should consider these elements when planning their events. Should an event become unsafe, overwhelming, or uncontrollable, students are encouraged to immediately contact IWU Campus Police at 765-677-4911. 

Additionally, see the Good Samaritan Clause for students who are in violation of university policies and simultaneously aware of an alcohol, drug-related, sexual assault, and/or medical emergency involving others.
