Representatives Needed for Student Conduct Hearings and Appeals

Staff Members are needed for formal judicial review hearings! See the message below from Jeff Cullen, Ph.D., Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards:

As you may know, we conduct full and formal judicial review hearings for students who request them. A student might request a board hearing if they are charged with something serious, for which the termination of their housing contract or disciplinary suspension/dismissal is a likely outcome. They might also request a hearing if they are refuting the charges and believe they are not responsible for the alleged misconduct.

Our Code of Student Conduct specifies that judicial boards are composed of between 2-4 students and one faculty or staff member. If you have been in a hearing before, you know that our board members are well-trained, thoughtful, and rigorous in their questioning. Although we have many "friends of Student Conduct" that have volunteered to help out in the faculty/staff capacity, I want to avoid repeatedly shoulder-tapping these same folks, if possible.

So I'd like to open up this opportunity for others to assist us in this crucial aspect of our operation. This is a chance for you to foster the accountability-taking and ethical decision-making capacity of our students and also to get a "good student affairs experience."  Here are the hearing dates and times (ALL VIRTUAL, AT THIS TIME) that I have lined up thus far for the Fall Semester of 2024 (please consider signing up for the early dates, which are typically the hardest for me to fill):
