Philosophy and Purpose

The Conduct Hearing Board participates in citizenship programming in order to benefit the local community. The Board also hears cases of alleged misconduct to determine whether a student or student organization’s behavior violates the Student Conduct Code, and if a violation is found, the imposition of sanctions. Members include faculty, staff, and students. Another purpose of the Board is to serve as an advisory committee to support programming and other issues that arise that affect the Office of Citizenship and Conduct.
