College and universities develop and publish student handbooks to establish expectations for student behavior and to provide a framework for a disciplinary process. Beyond this general purpose, student handbooks vary across institutions, and legal requirements differ between public and private institutions.

Through a web search, locate the published code of conduct from a public university, as well as the the student handbook for SNHU. In a short paper, compare and contrast the code of conduct from the public university with the student handbook of SNHU, a private university.

As you write, reference these sections that align with your short paper critical elements: (a) an overview of the institution, including specifying whether it is public or private; and (b) an evaluation of the similarities and differences between the SNHU Student Handbook and the selected public university’s student handbook.
