20.3.3 <strong>Student</strong>s shall be appointed as follows.<br />

<strong>Student</strong>s shall serve periods of one year. Each April, the <strong>Student</strong> Government Association shall<br />

recommend students <strong>to</strong> serve for the following year. (<strong>Student</strong>s may be recommended <strong>to</strong> serve a<br />

second year.) As student board members are expected <strong>to</strong> be exemplary members of the campus<br />

community, SGA recommendations shall be subject <strong>to</strong> approval by the dean of student affairs.<br />

In the case of unexpected vacancies, additional recommendations shall be made as the need<br />

arises.<br />

20.4 Presiding Person<br />

For each hearing, the student conduct officer shall select a presiding person from the hearing<br />

board members who will be present at that hearing.<br />

21. Ad Hoc Hearing Committees<br />

Ad hoc hearing committees may be appointed by the dean of student affairs, or designee,<br />

whenever a hearing board is not constituted, is unable <strong>to</strong> obtain a quorum or is otherwise<br />

unable <strong>to</strong> hear a case. Ad hoc committees may be composed of administra<strong>to</strong>rs, faculty and<br />

students, or any combination thereof.<br />

22. Advocates and Advisers<br />

The <strong>University</strong> makes a faculty advocate available, by assignment <strong>to</strong> students who are<br />

respondents or complainants in disciplinary matters. The over-arching purpose of the faculty<br />

advocate is <strong>to</strong> guide the student <strong>to</strong>ward a constructive outcome. The faculty advocate is<br />

available <strong>to</strong> students once a complaint charge has been made against a student. <strong>Student</strong>s will<br />

be advised of their ability <strong>to</strong> use the services of the faculty advocate. The faculty advocate will<br />

be available <strong>to</strong> the student throughout the process. During the process, he or she may assist in<br />

the preparation for a hearing, the hearing itself, or in an attempt at an informal or alternative<br />

resolution. <strong>Student</strong>s are expected <strong>to</strong> speak for themselves at disciplinary hearings. The faculty<br />

advocate will make every effort <strong>to</strong> respect the student’s privacy.<br />

In addition, any student may seek out a faculty advocate at any time <strong>to</strong> discuss any action<br />

or circumstance that may potentially violate this Code. Representation is not permitted in<br />

<strong>University</strong> disciplinary hearings or conferences. In addition <strong>to</strong> a faculty advocate (if desired<br />

by the student), respondents and complainants may be accompanied by an adviser of their<br />

choosing, only in the following circumstances:<br />

a) The respondent is referred for a formal hearing.<br />

b) The respondent is assigned <strong>to</strong> an informal disciplinary conference and criminal charges<br />

arising out of the same incident have been filed.
