Policies of the Judicial Board

1. The Judicial Board shall not discuss or review matters under consideration outside of the hearing. Failure of a Judicial Board member to uphold this provision renders such member subject to impeachment procedures by the Student Affairs Committee. Impeachment shall be by a two-thirds vote of that committee. Any violation of this section shall not affect the proceedings of the Judicial Board in a determination of the case.
2. No member of the Judicial Board shall be either a witness before the court or a person previously engaged in formulating the charge or in presenting materials relating to the case.
3. Judicial Board records shall be filed with the Office of Student Affairs and released only with the permission of the Judicial Board, the Coordinator of Judicial Affairs or the alleged violator. Records shall be kept for seven years.
4. The Judicial Board may adopt bylaws not inconsistent with these rules and regulations upon the affirmative vote of not less than five members.
5. The Judicial Board shall be composed of twelve (12) members. Approximately six students and six faculty/staff members are appointed for a term of one year. Members are nominated by the Student Affairs Committee or a subcommittee of the Student Affairs Committee and appointed by the University President.
6. In order to be nominated, a student must have attained sophomore status (24 credit hours). All members of the Judicial Board must have been a member of the university community for at least one semester before taking office. No student may serve if he or she is on probation at the time of the appointment. No member of the Judicial Board may be a voting member of the Student Association, University Senate, or the Student Affairs Committee.
