There shall be a University Board on Student Conduct composed of not fewer than twenty-four and not more than thirty persons. The membership of the Board will be as follows: One-third of the members will be members of the faculty appointed by the Provost. The Provost will make his or her designation from among a list of fifteen nominations made to him or her by the Faculty Council. One-third of the members will be students selected by the Dean of Students from among a list of fifteen nominations made to him or her by the Student Union. One-third of the Board will be appointed by the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Affairs and may include students, faculty, or members of the administrative staff of the University. Temporary imbalances in the composition of the Board caused by the absence or withdrawal from the Board of any member(s) will not affect the validity of actions taken by a hearing panel of the Board.
Membership on the Board shall be for a term of two years except that the term for student members shall be one year. Individuals appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board shall serve for the duration of the term.
The Dean of Students will be responsible for the administrative functions of the Board. Each panel will consist of not fewer than three and not more than five members of the Board. At least one member of each panel will be a student and at least one member will be a member of the faculty. Each panel will sit for one month, but its term may be extended by the Dean of Students or the Dean of Students may create an additional panel or panels as may be necessary to assure the prompt adjudication of cases. The term of any panel will be deemed to be automatically extended to the completion of its work on any case it has commenced hearing. The Dean of Students will designate the chairman of each panel.
If, during the summer or during any other period, sufficient members of the Board are not available to create a panel, the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Affairs, at the request of the Dean of Students, may designate individuals to serve as interim members of the Board for the purpose of serving on a panel.
