Judicial Boards

The HRLGL Judicial Board is composed of undergraduate students who represent the residence halls and the Greek-letter organizations. All members must reside in university–owned residence halls or Greek houses. The board is advised by the director of residence life or his/her designee. The Judicial Board hears cases referred by residence life or Greek life staff involving infractions of the university policies or the housing policies.

The HRLGL Judicial Board shall function through the Office of Housing, Residence Life & Greek Life and ultimately through the Office of Student Affairs. The jurisdiction of the HRLGL Judicial Board shall extend to and include only those incidents taking place in, about, and around any university housing or residential program.

In cases heard by the HRLGL Judicial Board, the following procedures apply:

1. The student will be notified in writing of the alleged policy violation(s) and the date, time, and location of the hearing.

7. A student appearing at the hearing may have an advisor of his or her choice. This advisor may advise the student but may neither participate in the hearing nor address the board.
8. The accused student may hear and question all witnesses. Questions must be directed to the judicial board chairperson.
9. The board will make its decision promptly and notify appropriate parties in writing. Disciplinary sanctions will be disclosed to any person or persons who have been victimized by a student and to university personnel when appropriate.
