The mission of Student Affairs is to enhance students’ academic success by developing student skills, cultivating diverse campus life experiences and enriching the university community through programs and services.
Through active engagement, University of Oklahoma students will contribute to caring communities, cultivate a holistic awareness of who they are, and develop confidence in who they can become.
At the heart of the Lead On, University Strategic Plan are five pillars that define how we fulfill our Purpose.
The Office of Student Conduct aligns most directly with Pillars 2 and 4.
Long before the University of Oklahoma was established, the land on which the University now resides was the traditional home of the “Hasinais” Caddo Nation and “Kirikirʔi:s” Wichita & Affiliated Tribes.
We acknowledge this territory once also served as a hunting ground, trade exchange point, and migration route for the Apache, Comanche, Kiowa and Osage nations.
Today, 39 tribal nations dwell in the state of Oklahoma as a result of settler and colonial policies that were designed to assimilate Native people.
The University of Oklahoma recognizes the historical connection our university has with its indigenous community. We acknowledge, honor and respect the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this land. We fully recognize, support and advocate for the sovereign rights of all of Oklahoma’s 39 tribal nations. This acknowledgement is aligned with our university’s core value of creating a diverse and inclusive community. It is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture and history that make up our entire OU Community.
