3.7.1 Conduct Committee Processes<br />

DISCIPLINARY AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY HEARINGS<br />

A. Charge and Initial Decision to Pursue Student Conduct Hear<strong>in</strong>gs:<br />

Both academic dishonesty and student misconduct cases are resolved through<br />

hear<strong>in</strong>gs held by the <strong>AUK</strong> Conduct Committee. In all such <strong>in</strong>stances, students may<br />

appeal to the <strong>AUK</strong> President by us<strong>in</strong>g the appeal procedures listed <strong>in</strong> the APPEALS<br />

section, below.<br />

Most academic dishonesty cases do not reach the <strong>AUK</strong> Conduct Committee. Only<br />

when the matter cannot be resolved, or when the nature of the dishonesty is so<br />

serious that it is felt that a full hear<strong>in</strong>g is necessary, will these matters be handled at<br />

the Conduct Committee level.<br />

B. Compla<strong>in</strong>ts of Misconduct: Any member of the <strong>University</strong> community may file a<br />

compla<strong>in</strong>t aga<strong>in</strong>st any student for misconduct. A compla<strong>in</strong>t concern<strong>in</strong>g academic<br />

conduct matters is normally made to the Director of <strong>Academic</strong> Affairs, although<br />

compla<strong>in</strong>ts also can be made directly to the <strong>AUK</strong> Conduct Committee. The<br />

compla<strong>in</strong>t, <strong>in</strong> written form, will be submitted to the Chair of the <strong>AUK</strong> Conduct<br />

Committee, who will conduct an <strong>in</strong>itial review as appropriate to determ<strong>in</strong>e if the<br />

charges appear to have merit and/or require further <strong>in</strong>vestigation and a student<br />

conduct hear<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

C. Notification of Compla<strong>in</strong>t: An accused student will be asked to meet with the<br />

Chair of the <strong>AUK</strong> Conduct Committee and will be <strong>in</strong>formed of the fact that a<br />

compla<strong>in</strong>t has been filed aga<strong>in</strong>st him or her. The hear<strong>in</strong>g procedure will be described<br />

and the student directed to the <strong>AUK</strong> Undergraduate Bullet<strong>in</strong> section on the Students<br />

Bill of Rights and the Hear<strong>in</strong>g and Appeals procedure.<br />
