Student Conduct Committee Membership

The student conduct committee will be identified at the beginning of each semester at the request of the vice president of student services or designee.  The committee is a pool of faculty, staff, and students, with a minimum of five members, one of whom will serve as chairperson.  A quorum consists of the chairperson and two members of the committee. Student members will not participate in student conduct committee panels involving potential violations of the sexual misconduct policy.  Members of this committee who do not feel that they can render an impartial decision in regard to a specific case may be excused if they give notice to the chairperson of the committee prior to the notification of the scheduled hearing of the respondent.  The chairperson will contact the constituency for the selection of an alternate.  The respondent or complainant may request the replacement of any member of the committee if evidence of personal prejudice is provided.  Objections to a committee member must be stated in writing and submitted to the committee five business days after notification.  A decision will be rendered by the chairperson of the committee.
