University Conduct Board Information and Application
This information is not fully inclusive, for a full description of Conduct Board Authority click here.
The University Conduct Board is a part of the student conduct process created to resolve cases of non-academic misconduct. It is designed to give students a formal role in upholding the standards of community life at WSU and to give students who are accused of violations the opportunity to have their cases heard by their peers. Membership on the board is open to full-time students (undergraduate or graduate) and faculty members of WSU through a selection process coordinated by the Office of Student Conduct. See below for eligibility requirements for students.
The University Conduct Board is coordinated by the Office of Student Conduct. The board is composed of up to 15 students and 10 to 15 faculty members and one chairperson appointed by the vice-president for student affairs, equity and diversity. Faculty board members serve three year terms, and student board members serve one year terms. The board hears cases on a rotating basis in groups of five consisting of two students, two faculty members, and the chairperson of the board. Any three members of the board constitute a quorum and may act, provided that at least one student and the chairperson are present. Hearings typically take place in the evenings, Mondays through Thursdays. Decisions made by the board become final twenty-one days after the date the decision is signed, unless an appeal is filed prior to that date. The appeals board is composed of three university employees appointed by the vice-president for student affairs, equity and diversity. Three people constitute a quorum of the appeals board.
If you are interested in becoming a University Conduct Board member please note that applications turned in by February 27, 2009 will receive priority status and all others will be accepted up to March 15, 2009. Recruitment is held at least once an academic year, or as needed to replace board members.
