The University Conduct Board (UCB) hears cases in which students are charged with non-academic violations of the Code of Student Conduct. The UCB is comprised of students, faculty, and staff from across the university. Undergraduate Student Government, Council of Graduate Students, and Inter-Professional Council appoint a total of 25 students to serve on the board. Upon recommendation by the Director of Student Conduct, the Vice President for Student Life appoints 15 faculty and staff to serve three-year, renewable terms. By modeling civility and care during, what can often be, a challenging experience for students, the UCB provides a valuable service to the entire university by upholding the university’s standards through a fair and impartial hearing.
UCB members commit their time and energy to support our mission to uphold the Code of Student Conduct, using an educational and holistic approach to discipline whenever possible. They demonstrate sound judgment while adjudicating student conduct matters during a critical time in a student’s college experience. Due to the hours spent in the hearings, in training, and in development we ask that those applying to become a member of the UCB submit a letter of support from their direct supervisor to serve on the board during business hours.
