What does an Administrative Hearing Board member do?

Board members hear referrals of alleged behavioral (non-academic) misconduct in possible violation of the University Student Conduct Code.


What is the Conduct Code?

It is a document containing campus rules and regulations that govern student behavior and civility on the campus as it relates to people and property. The Conduct Code also describes the process whereby students can file a complaint when their rights as members of the University community have been violated by other students.


How many people are on the board?

Depending upon the seriousness (level) of the alleged violation, the hearing board will have 3-5 students, staff and faculty.


Is it a large time commitment, and will I miss my classes?

No. Administrative Hearings are scheduled based upon the number of cases, and availability of board members.


How do I apply?

Applications are available in the Office of the Student Judiciary, Room 347 Administration Building. The online version is available here. Selection of Board Members will be based upon application, interest, and an interview.


What are the benefits of Board Member participation?

Personal satisfaction of being involved in a significant and important community service activity. Community service that can be noted when applying for graduate/professional schools and/or employment.


Philosophy of the Judiciary:

Students are Not Responsible unless information presented in the hearing determines otherwise. Hearing Board decisions can be appealed. The Judicial process has an educational focus, supports civility, the protection of property, and the dignity of all students to learn, live, and socialize in our exciting and diverse campus community.
