  1. Abiding by all State and County laws
  2. Operating within the policies and procedures of the University
  3. Adhering to their own Constitution and By-Laws
  4. Keeping an accurate accounting of funds
  5. Filing the annual RISO registration form.
  6. Avoiding any policy or practice that discriminates against any person by reason of race, creed, color, age, national origin, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation (Attachment #1) or religion.
  7. Retaining a UHH/HawCC faculty or staff person to serve as the RISO's advisor.

  3. Read the Handbook to be sure the RISO is in compliance with all rules. (Handbook is available for check out in Campus Center, rm. 210)
