The standards are grounded in the following:
- Respect for the institution

- Respect for property
Anything identified with the university must be in keeping with the official vision, mission, and values of Ouachita Baptist University. This includes the content of programs or performances, texts of printed material, and actions and speech of individuals and groups.
The regulations and standards of this handbook apply to all students who are enrolled at Ouachita and any guest(s) they may host on campus. Students are responsible for informing their guests of university policies and assuring they act within the guidelines of established policies.
Some violations of university standards may also break local, state, or federal statutes. University disciplinary action will not preclude the filing of charges with appropriate law enforcement agencies.
