Mission Statement
We strive to resolve allegations of misconduct under the Code of Student Conduct
and the Code of Academic Integrity as well as parking ticket appeals in a manner
consistent with our core values of fairness, honesty and integrity. Moreover, we
acknowledge the importance of balancing the interests of the individual student
and the community at large, as well as protecting the integrity of the institution
and its values. As a component of our work, we seek to involve students in the judicial
process - recognizing the significant responsibility they maintain in the protection
of the university community. To foster future leaders and sound citizens, we promise
to invest in their learning and character development.
Our Values
Fairness
We believe that fairness is paramount to the judicial process. Every person involved
should expect to be treated with respect and compassion, given the opportunity to
communicate their perspective, as well as be heard without prejudice. We employ
a consistent process, and we strive for a timely resolution.
Honesty
We believe honesty is critical to the resolution of community disputes, healthy
relationships, personal growth, and moral development. While we acknowledge the
reality of human fallibility, we believe that honest confrontation of choices is
instrumental to the learning process.
Integrity
We believe that integrity undergirds the legitimacy of our process. In other words,
it is living up to the expectations we espouse. Therefore, we seek to be held accountable
to the high expectations articulated in this statement and to foster a judicial
system that embodies the values of fairness, honesty, and integrity.
