The University and the School of Medicine set standards of behavior and maintain independent procedures for their fair and equitable enforcement. Although these standards are similar, the unique responsibility of medical students for the care of patients in school-affiliated institutions necessitates the inclusion of additional provisions. The enforcement of the University and school standards differs in certain respects. Whether the responsibility for the investigation of an incident of alleged misbehavior belongs to the School of Medicine or University is decided by the Dean of the Feinberg School of Medicine and the University Vice President for Student Affairs. Actions by a medical student or students generally fall under the purview of the School of Medicine. An incident involving multiple students from different schools may be more appropriately addressed by the University. Consideration of a matter by other areas of the University or law enforcement authority does not preclude the School of Medicine's Student Promotions Committee (SPC) from conducting its own hearing and taking actions it determines to be warranted.
