Greetings, UW Students-
The Office of Community Standards and Student
Conduct is currently seeking new student members for the University
Disciplinary Committee (UDC). The University Disciplinary Committee is
comprised of students and faculty who hear disciplinary
cases on behalf of the University. Students who have allegedly violated
the Student Conduct Code can appear before the University Disciplinary
Committee or may choose to have an informal hearing with a Community
Standards and Student Conduct Hearing Officer. Additionally,
the UDC hears appeals of cases in which a student may have been found
responsible for a violation of the code but the student disagrees with
the initial finding or sanctions.
New student members will begin their one-year term
in February 2016 and will complete their term at the end of December
2016. In order to serve on the University Disciplinary Committee,
students must be enrolled full-time (either undergraduate
or graduate) and be in good academic standing. Additionally, students
must be able to commit to meeting as a committee 3-5 hours per month and
should be interested in gaining leadership skills through serving on
this University Wide Committee.
Students are selected at random from those students
who identify an interest in the University Disciplinary Committee and
then training is provided for those selected.
This year’s first required training for all new UDC members will
be held during Winter quarter in February and details will be provided
to selected students.
