Student Organization Hearings

The Dean for Campus Life may refer matters involving allegations of violations of the Standards of Student Conduct by student organizations to deans for a hearing. Additionally, allegations made against individual members of a student organization may be referred to a hearing officer or body.

Procedure. The dean will notify in writing the president (or other responsible student) of the student organization of the allegation(s). The student organization has the opportunity to prepare a response and to be heard regarding the allegations. The dean determines the structure of the hearing, in accordance with the basic rights afforded to students (see "Student Rights and Responsibilities") and decides if the student organization is responsible for violation(s) of the Standards of Student Conduct.

Sanctions. If the student organization is found responsible, the dean will impose a sanction up to probation for three (3) semesters and any accompanying terms (see "Accompanying Terms for Sanctions"), which may include, but are not limited to:

1. Community restitution.
2. Suspension of social privileges, which is the loss of all or partial social function privileges for a defined or indefinite period of time.
3. Loss of University privileges and services for a defined or indefinite period of time (e.g., loss of space reservation privileges).
4. Loss of recognition by the University of the organization for a defined or indefinite period of time.
5. Loss of housing and residential space for a defined or indefinite period of time.
