The Division of Student Affairs invites students to serve on the University Student Conduct Board. According to the Student Code of Conduct (Regulation 4.007), board members are "person(s) authorized by the University to determine whether a student has violated the Student Code of Conduct and may recommend sanctions that may be imposed to the Associate Vice President and Dean of Students."
What does this mean? Becoming a board member means you will be called upon periodically to hear minor and/or major student conduct cases depending on your previous experience. What a great opportunity to engage in the student conduct process. This is also a tool for those “teachable moments” which are valued in student affairs work.
What is the time commitment? On average, one to two hours, depending on the case that may be assigned to you. When a board member is needed, you will be contacted to check your availability to participate in a board hearing.
Membership Criteria Expectations:
- Attend mandatory training sessions.
- Participate in ongoing development workshops.
