Student Organization Misconduct Resolution

Hearings involving alleged misconduct of organizations involving College rules and regulations are conducted by the Associate Dean of Students/Director of Campus Involvement or designee, who may dispose of the matter administratively, refer the matter to the Student Accountability Board, or may conduct alternative resolution with the student organization.

Student organizations willing to accept responsibility for misconduct that does not involve a serious policy violation (i.e. not involving hazing, assault, sexual misconduct, discriminatory harassment, or a violation of the controlled substance policy) will be eligible to forgo the formal resolution avenues and proceed with alternative resolution with the Associate Dean of Students/Director of Campus Involvement or designee. In the alternative resolution process, representatives of the organization will work with the Associate Dean of Students/Director of Campus Involvement to develop an organization enhancement plan to complete in lieu of traditional sanctioning. This plan must then receive approval from members of the organization. If it is not accepted, traditional student conduct adjudication will occur. The organization will work closely with the Associate Dean of Students/Director of Campus Involvement and the Assistant Director of Greek Life and Student Organization Leadership Development to complete the requirements laid out in the organization enhancement plan. Should the organization fail to complete the organization enhancement plan, it will be referred through the student conduct process for formal adjudication.
