University Hearing Board

The University Hearing Board (UHB) is a three-person panel responsible for adjudicating suspension and expulsion level cases in which a student or student organization has been found responsible for a Student Code of Conduct violation and contests that finding. The UHB members include students, faculty, and staff from across campus. UHB panels administer the UHB hearing. This includes reviewing case materials, listening to statements and testimony, questioning involved parties, evaluating evidence, and deliberating with fellow panelists to determine if a violation occurred. For cases that result in a finding of violation, the UHB panel recommends appropriate educational sanctions to the Dean of Students.

UHB members also sit on University Appeal Boards. Appeal Boards are part of the conduct process. Appeal Board panelists review appeals from students who have gone through the Community Standards Process. The panelists deliberate on the argument for an appeal, render a decision on if the appealable ground is met, and propose appropriate educational sanctions as needed.
