The 猛料视频 recognizes that organized student groups are a valuable part of the student educational environment. Student organizations further the 猛料视频’s educational mission. They are responsible for making positive contributions to the primary educational mission of the 猛料视频 and are expected to encourage intellectual and social development of their members.

Recognition provides official identification for an affiliated group, use of designated 猛料视频 facilities and services, and the coordination and communication of the group’s activities to the campus community.

Recognition does not imply 猛料视频 endorsement of the purposes of an organization, nor does the 猛料视频 assume sponsorship of, or responsibility for, any of the activities of the group on or off the property of the 猛料视频. Recognition shall not be construed as agreement, support or approval by the 猛料视频, but only as recognition of the rights of the organization to exist at the 猛料视频, subject to established conditions.

In order to achieve and maintain Recognized Student Organization status each student organization must minimally:

• Adhere to the policies, regulations, and requirements set forth in this document and 猛料视频 Policies and Procedures.
• Achieve and maintain recognition by one primary approved 猛料视频 Recognizing Agent that is responsible for the actions of the club or organization. Recognizing agencies include student governments, academic and administrative departments as well as other formally recognized 猛料视频 entities. Groups may choose an affiliate recognizing agent with the understanding that the 猛料视频 Recognizing Agent is responsible for the actions of the club or organization. This does not limit clubs and organizations from utilizing space from additional 猛料视频 agents.
• Contact their preferred recognizing body to indicate their interest and intent. All Recognized Student Organizations must abide by the Rules and Regulations of their 猛料视频 Recognizing Agent.
