Code of Student Conduct is to promote academic integrity at the William H.

However, when misconduct alleged under the Code might subject the accused to criminal prosecution, the accused may postpone the Code process by \u201csuspending\u201d himself or herself from the Law School until the criminal charges are resolved or until the authorities decide not to press charges. Suspension under this provision has no effect under academic rules; i.e., the suspension does not entitle the accused to a leave of absence or relieve the accused of any academic consequences arising from his or her absence from the Law School. Suspension does not abate the Code complaint, but may not result in any inference against the accused in a Code proceeding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00a0Relationship with UA Little Rock Policies and Processes.<\/strong>\u00a0The Code supersedes UA Little Rock campus-wide disciplinary processes for matters within the substantive scope of the Code. It is a defense in a campus-wide process that the alleged misconduct is within the scope of the Code and that the campus-wide process should be suspended pending referral and consideration of the case under the Code. A resolution of a complaint on the merits under the Code precludes a charge under another campus-wide disciplinary process predicated on the same alleged misconduct. A determination at any level of process under the Code that the alleged misconduct falls outside the scope of the Code is not a resolution on the merits, and the accused may be subject to campus-wide disciplinary processes predicated on the same alleged misconduct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relationship with Law School Policies and Processes.<\/strong>\u00a0The Code governs only matters within its substantive scope and leaves undisturbed Law School policies and processes outside that scope. The Administration may in its discretion respond to any misconduct, such as non-academic misconduct, that is not within the scope of the Code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00a0Relationship with Administration Powers.<\/strong>\u00a0The Code in no way restricts the powers of the UA Little Rock Administration or Law School Administration to preserve the safety and security of any person or property, even when a matter falls within the substantive scope of the Code, regardless of whether the processes of the Code are initiated concurrently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relationship with Faculty Powers.<\/strong>\u00a0The Code in no way restricts the academic freedom of the Faculty, even when a matter falls within the substantive scope of the Code, regardless of whether the processes of the Code are initiated concurrently. For example, a Faculty member may impose a grade penalty based on academic misconduct regardless of the existence or outcome of concurrent Code proceedings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion-heading\"><button type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"toggle accordion-trigger\" aria-controls=\"accordion-524-content\" id=\"accordion-524\">Time Limits<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"accordion-524-content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-524\" class=\"accordion-panel\" hidden=\"\">\n\n<p>An accused may agree to extend or waive any procedural time limit under the Code.\u00a0 Extension of time limits with or without the consent of the accused does not relieve the accused of responsibility for violations of the Code.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion-heading\"><button type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"toggle accordion-trigger\" aria-controls=\"accordion-199-content\" id=\"accordion-199\">Notice<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"accordion-199-content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-199\" class=\"accordion-panel\" hidden=\"\">\n\n<p>When the Code calls for notice to a student, it shall be sufficient to (1) deliver notice in person, (2) send an email to the student\u2019s university email address, or (3) send a letter by certified U.S. mail to the address on file with the Law School Office of Student Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00a0With respect to emailed notice, a student is responsible for checking their university email address regularly.
