Student Conduct Administrators

The responsibility for administering the Student Conduct System rests with the Dean in the Office of Student Affairs. The responsibilities of this office include:

  1. Determination of the disciplinary charges to be filed pursuant to this code.
  2. Interviewing and advising parties involved in student conduct proceedings.
  3. Supervising, training, and advising all student conduct panels.
  4. Maintaining all student conduct records.
  5. Developing procedures for conflict resolution when appropriate.
  6. Providing follow-up for any sanctions issued.
  7. Conducting an annual review and evaluation of the Student Conduct System.
  8. Submission of an annual report to the Board of Trustees which includes the referrals to the University Student Conduct System and a summary of sanctions imposed.
  9. Submission of annual campus crime statistics to the US Department of Education. The Dean will review referrals to determine if the case should be resolved by an administrative hearing, before the appropriate student conduct board, or some other means deemed appropriate. The University reserves the right to determine the most appropriate vehicle to resolve alleged violations of the Code of Conduct. Such methods may include panels, administrative hearings, conferences, or mediation.
