Student Conduct Administration

The Director, Equity and Diversity/Student Conduct Officer will serve as the initial contact for student conduct issues involving students, residents, and postdocs at the institutional level by reviewing incident reports and charges filed, in addition to addressing allegations of sexual harassment or discrimination and FERPA.

Upon receipt of a written incident report, the student conduct administrator may conduct an investigation to determine if the charges have merit and/or if they can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of the parties involved. Students who allegedly may have violated the Student Conduct Code in the CenterScope Student Handbook or violated civil laws or University regulations or policy will be appropriately advised of their rights and given a fair opportunity to provide evidence and facts for consideration.

The Director, Office of Equity and Diversity/Student Conduct Officer will also analyze student conduct issues to identify possible patterns in an effort to employ strategies to reduce potential problems. Act as a liaison to Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic, Faculty, and Student Affairs; Student Affairs Officers within the colleges; Campus Police Office; Safety Affairs Office; University Health Services; Student Academic Support Services; Student Life, and Housing to find resolution to student conduct issues. This will also include recruiting, training and advising a review board body if utilized.
