Although there are exceptions, most institutions’ published disciplinary rules and processes focus only on conduct that occurs on campus or at institution‐related off‐campus events. But the COVID‐19 pandemic has created some challenges regarding institutional jurisdiction for off‐campus conduct.

Some legal challenges have arisen regarding pandemic‐related conduct and discipline.
