Appendix 16: The Judiciary Board

The Judiciary Board has discretion to preside over hearings involving any disciplinary matter involving student discipline, including but not limited to matters involving alleged violations of University Policy, protocol, regulation, the Student Handbook, the Honor Code, Code of Conduct, the Clinical Training Manual (as applicable to students in the Doctor of Medicine program) and any matter for which there is precedent for interpreting and applying the rules and standards of conduct of the University. The Judiciary Board’s authority to handle University disciplinary matters derives directly from the University. All meetings and discussions of the Judiciary Board are confidential.

It is the policy of the University that, while evaluation of academic work is entirely in the hands of the instructor, questions of academic honesty and professionalism may be heard by a Judicial Panel of the Judiciary Board.
