Maintaining amicable and considerate relations between Northeastern University and local residents and businesses is essential to the continued cooperation of the university and its neighbors in civic projects and issues and to the furtherance of the university’s broader mission to contribute to the general good of society. The university endeavors to foster conditions under which such beneficial relations exist.
Consequently, the university must consider conduct on the part of members of the Northeastern community, whether on or off campus and whether isolated or continuing in nature, that is disruptive of these relations; that impairs, interferes with, or obstructs the lawful missions, processes, and functions of the university; or that is found by the university to be abhorrent or offensive to generally accepted standards of social behavior, as inimical to the university’s interests.
Northeastern’s Code of Student Conduct governs student behavior on co-op, externships, and in the community surrounding the university. In addition, misbehavior in these settings may violate the law, policies of the co-op employer, or rules of the externship sponsor.
