Each residence hall director will facilitate the selection of a Discipline Committee to hear those cases referred to them by the Dean of Students or designated Residential Life Professional (Class A or Class B violations) as well as rules specific to each given residence hall. All such rules and regulations shall be in writing and shall be distributed to all residence halls and continuously posted in a prominent location. Each Hall Director serves as an advisor to the Residence Hall Discipline Committee, which consists of a representative from the various living areas, excluding Resident Assistants. The chairperson will be appointed by the Residence Hall Discipline Committee members and will not have a vote. There must be a quorum of two-thirds present to take any action by a Hall Discipline Committee. The disciplinary action taken by the Committee must be approved by a majority vote and cannot be more severe than as specified in Section G for Class A and B violations. The Hall Director may, at his/her discretion, give the respondent an opportunity to have the case heard administratively in lieu of being heard by the full committee. If this option is presented, the decision to accept or reject belongs to the student. Additionally, in cases of Class A violations, the Hall Director may issue a warning via an administrative letter. This warning will serve as an official judicial sanction and may be considered in subsequent sanctions. The student has the right to meet with the Hall Director to have a hearing.
The designated Residential Life Professional facilitates the selection of seven student members who represent the diversity of the campus population. The Student Discipline Committee will hear those cases involving Class B violations, those violations deemed by the Student Discipline Committee to be serious in nature and appeals of Residence Hall Discipline Committee cases. The designated Residential Life Professional shall serve as the committee advisor to the Student Discipline Committee. Any action by the Committee, including election of a chairperson, shall be undertaken by majority vote at a meeting where at which at least five student committee members are present. The chairperson of the committee will not have a vote. Disciplinary action taken by the Student Discipline Committee cannot be more severe than is outlined in Section G.
This committee is composed of four faculty members and four students with a non-voting faculty chairperson appointed as outlined in the By-Laws of the Constitution of the Student Government Association. The Committee hears Class "C" violations and those cases in which dismissal from the University could be the sanction recommended. It also may serve as an Appeal Committee for Student Discipline Committee. The Committee may impose all disciplinary actions outlined in Paragraph G below. The Dean of Students serves as the committee advisor to the Student-Faculty Discipline Committee. All action of the Committee shall be taken by a majority of the members in favor of such action at a meeting at which at least six members are present. In the event where dismissal from the institution is being considered, a two-thirds vote will be required.
