The Brown School Faculty has developed and approved the following list of student rights. Students have:

  • The right to organize in their own interests as students.
  • The right to have representation and participation on approved standing committees of the Brown School.
  • The right, individually or in association with other individuals, to engage freely in off-campus activities, exercising their rights as citizens of community, state, and nation. Students shall not claim to formally represent the Brown School or Washington University during these activities.
  • The right to establish and issue electronic or print publications free of any censorship or other pressure aimed at controlling editorial policy. Such publications shall not claim to represent the Brown School or Washington University.
  • The right to petition through proper channels for changes in curriculum, professional practicum, faculty/concentration, academic and/or field advisor, and failing grades and to petition through proper channels in cases of grievance.
  • The right to receive appropriate recognition for their contribution to the process of research or scholarly endeavors under faculty direction as part of their formal academic program.
  • The right of equal opportunity to enjoy these rights without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, veteran status, disability, or genetic information.

Enumeration of certain rights herein shall not be construed as to nullify or limit any other rights possessed by students; exercise of these rights falls within more general Washington University-wide policies.
