In academic cases, a decision can be reached informally among the Chair, the faculty member, the complainant, and the alleged violator. In cases where a decision is reached solely between the faculty member and the alleged violator, the faculty member submits a written record of the decision to the Judicial Board Chair and a copy to the Dean of Students. If a student disputes the charges or the resolution, it is the responsibility of the Judicial Board Chair to call a hearing before the Judicial Board. B. Ethical and Social Violations 1. General Violations A written complaint is necessary for the Judicial Board Chair to take action on an alleged Mills Honor Code violation.
All complaints are confidential.
The Judicial Board Chair conducts an independent investigation into the allegations and makes recommendations for resolution based upon her findings. The Dean of Students Office advises the Judicial Board Chair as appropriate. Alleged violations should first be reported to an RCL student-staff member. The information will then be reported to a Residence Director or the Director of RCL who will investigate and attempt to adjudicate the situation. Appeals to cases heard by the RCL staff will be heard by the Dean of Students.
