The Hearing Board is the body that reviews appeals submitted to the Dean regarding student suspension/expulsions. The purpose of the Hearing Board is to formulate a recommendation to the Vice President for Student Affairs as to whether a violation of the Student Code of Conduct was more likely than not to have been committed by the student, and if so, the appropriate sanction to be imposed.
The Hearing Board is composed of five members, including two (2) students, and three (3) faculty members.
Hearing Board Training
Every year, the Dean of Students Office
conducts training for campus community members who serve
on hearing boards.
During hearing board training, members
review the Code of Conduct and the Code of Academic
Integrity. In addition, training covers due process
and important legal issues, as well as topics regarding
student organizations and Greek Life, mental illness,
and issues surrounding sexual assault.
