Honor & Discipline Committee

The Honor and Discipline Committee is composed of 8 faculty, 1 ex officio senior staff member, and 8 students (8-1-8)

Members of the Honor and Discipline Committee hear and decide, either on direct referral by the Dean of the College or on appeal of the Dean’s decision, cases that involve student violations of individual rights or the rules of student conduct. The Dean of the College is an ex officio member, who votes only when there is a tie in cases referred directly to the committee by the Dean.

The Committee’s Work

The Honor and Discipline Committee is made up of eight students, eight faculty, and the Dean of the College. The secretary to the Dean of the College assists committee members with their work, helping to schedule hearings, find rooms and equipment, collate evidence, and maintain records.

Student members are elected by their peers in September. There are two seats per class year. The Dean designates one student as chair. The Faculty Steering Committee appoints eight faculty members, striving for a balance among divisions and a mix of experience levels with the committee. The FSC designates a Faculty Chair.

Honor hearings include eight student members, four faculty members (including the faculty chair) and the dean, who act as questioners, advisors, and the recording secretary. Only the students may vote. The faculty members rotate.
