Webinar #1: Webinar Title: Preparing Personnel for a Student Conduct Board Date/Time: CLOSED Instructors: Shawn McGuirk, Assistant Dean of Students, UMass-Amherst; & Shawn DeVeau, J.D., Interim Director of Enrollment Services and University Registrar, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Overview: How do you prepare your conduct board? Questions that need to be addressed probably include: who comprises the board? Is it students, faculty, or staff? Maybe it’s a combination of all three. And then we must ask… are they returning board members who are already familiar with the conduct process? How many of them are brand new and will require additional training? If students are involved, do you allow them on the board if they have a judicial record? If so, do you identify violations whereby students may not serve on the board (e.g. if a student was on probation, can they still apply to be a board member? If suspended?). How is it determined whether a case goes to your board, or is heard by an administrator? Do students who have allegedly violated policy have a ‘say’ in who hears their case?
