As you may know, we conduct full and formal judicial review hearings for students who request them. A student might request a board hearing if they are charged with something serious, for which the termination of their housing contract or disciplinary suspension/dismissal is a likely outcome. They might also request a hearing if they are refuting the charges and believe they are not responsible for the alleged misconduct. Our Code of Student Conduct specifies that judicial boards are composed of between 2-4 students and one faculty or staff member. If you have been in a hearing before, you know that our board members are well-trained, thoughtful, and rigorous in their questioning. Although we have many "friends of Student Conduct" that have volunteered to help out in the faculty/staff capacity, I want to avoid repeatedly shoulder-tapping these same folks, if possible.
So I'd like to open up this opportunity for others to assist us in this crucial aspect of our operation. This is a chance for you to foster the accountability-taking and ethical decision-making capacity of our students and also to get a "good student affairs experience." ALL OF THESE HEARINGS ARE VIRTUAL AND YOU CAN PARTICIPATE FROM YOUR OFFICE OR REMOTE WORK LOCATION.
Here are the hearing dates and times that remain unfilled for the Fall Semester of 2021 (please consider signing up for the early dates, which are typically the hardest for me to fill):
December 10, 1:00-6:00 PM
December 14 (Tuesday, Study Day) 9:00 AM-1:00 PM
With all that said, please consult your calendar and email me with the date(s) you are available and willing to help out. I will reply and ask you to put a tentative hold on your calendar and then confirm the specific time and nature of the hearing when we get closer to the actual date. Thanks again for your support of this important task!
November 19, 1:45-6:00 PMish
November 23, 9:00-11:00 AM (Appellate Board, RL Eligible)
December 3, 1:00-6:00 PMish
Here are a few caveats: 1) Before you volunteer, make sure you are in conversation with your supervisor, and 2) Our hearings occasionally run past 5:00 PM, so if you are on a tight timeline because of family or social commitments, just be aware that once you commit it is really important to have you be available "for the duration" whatever that ends up looking like.
