Students who are charged may choose an informal disposition by the Dean or Associate Dean of Student Development, or a formal disposition conducted by the Student Conduct Committee. This committee is chaired by a faculty member and includes a pool of ten members, comprised of students, faculty and staff. The charged student may make a strike of any one member.
Penalties range from probation to suspension or expulsion.
All infractions are listed in the Student Handbook , maintained by the Office of Student Development, and the Residence Hall Handbook maintained by the Department of Housing. These rules of procedure concerning disciplinary matters have been adopted to insure that the university will fulfill the requirements of procedural due process in all student disciplinary proceedings. Such policies have continued to be student oriented by allowing those charged with a choice and range of penalties . Most students with fewer than sixty hours of college credit are required to live in university housing. This presently represents about thirty-five percent of the total undergraduate student body.
