Behavior Guidelines
All behavior guidelines found in the current Stritch Student Handbook are applicable when in the library building or dealing with authorized staff. Library user behaviors specifically outlined on this site provide additional guidelines beyond those provided by the university. When conflicts between competing legitimate behaviors arise, the library will use the tools for accommodation it has available and then expect users to accommodate their behaviors and expectations at the time based on Franciscan values of hospitality, compassion, and community.
Guideline Enforcement
- Please respect the authority of all library and security staff to enforce these behavioral guidelines.
- If you feel that your right to an environment conducive to study is being compromised, please feel free to report it to any member of the library staff.
- We ask that all patrons are accepting of any staff questions concerning alleged violations of these guidelines.
- We ask that all patrons understand that the library must take all complaints seriously and address them.
- Patrons will first be informed by library staff of any issues involving these guidelines. Second time or continual violations of these guidelines increase the likelihood of action by the staff in charge. At this point the patron may be requested to leave the library by library or security staff. Further difficulty can bring longer term suspension from the building and additional university action. These additional actions could include:
- University disciplinary action
- Suspension from the university
- Legal action
