Student Conduct Committee The University Student Conduct Committee (previously University Judicial Committee) is made of two students and one faculty or staff member. The Student Conduct Committee provides an opportunity for students to be heard by "multiple ears" in situations where they have been charged with alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. We request that students complete an application. Our office staff will review the applications and then select individuals for interviews. Faculty or staff are not required to complete an application. Please forward names of any interested faculty or staff members to the Director, Karen A. Dlhosh. Please upload the above link to apply for this important leadership opportunity.
The University Student Conduct Committee is comprised of one faculty member or one staff member, two student representatives and the Judicial Administrator. This hearing body is one of the formal resolution options utilized in the University judicial system. The University Student Conduct Committee provides students an opportunity to be heard by “multiple ears” in situations where they have been charged with alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. We are in need of more students to serve in this capacity. We are currently in the process of developing a pool of student leaders to utilize for cases that need to be heard by the University Student Conduct Committee.
The responsibilities of a University Student Conduct Committee Hearing member include: training sessions, knowledge of the FIU Student Code of Conduct and judicial procedures, attend scheduled hearings, (2-4 hour commitment depending upon the nature of the case and your availability), and participate in the hearing process (questioning, deliberation, and if necessary assign appropriate sanctions). To be considered, students must be in good academic standing and judicial standing with the University and have at least a 2.5 cumulative G.P.A. If selected you will be required to complete a mandatory 2-day (eight hour each) training programming (to be completed in October). Preferences will be given to first year, sophomore and junior level students. In addition, you must attend an interview in early September (to be individually scheduled)
The Student Conduct Committee is a vital part of the development of students and our community. It is important for students to have an active role in the judicial process. Please refer to pages 9 - 29 of the Conduct and Policies section in the 2005-2006 FIU Student Handbook for additional information.
If you are interested in serving on the University Student Conduct Committee please upload the application and return it to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution by September 10, 2005 at 5pm. Selected students will be contacted regarding interviews and training sessions.
If you have any questions, please contact Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution at (305) 348-3939 or by email at sccr@fiu.edu. Again, thanks for your interest and we look forward to meeting you!
