Standards of Student Conduct

Judicial Board Membership

The Judicial Board conducts hearings in which students have been charged with violating Juniata College policy.  The Board is comprised of three faculty members, two students (appointed by the Student Government), one administrator from Student Affairs, and one administrator from Academic Affairs.  The Judicial Board is chaired by a representative from the Provost’s Office, typically either the Assistant Provost or the Dean of Students (or other appropriate appointee).  A recording secretary appointed by the Judicial Board Chairperson is also present.

Each Judicial Board is selected from a pool of eight faculty members, five students designated by the Student Government and all members of the Academic Affairs and Student Affairs staff. 

Duties of Chairperson — The Chairperson of the Judicial Board shall call and preside over meetings of the Board when necessary. The Judicial Board shall select one of its student members to be Chairperson.

Duties of Secretary — The Secretary of the Judicial Board shall record and transmit to the Dean of Students Office the proceedings and resulting recommendations of each hearing. A designated Hearing Officer typically serves as the Judicial Board Secretary.

Duties of Members— It is the duty of all members to keep all proceedings confidential. It is the responsibility of members to disqualify themselves whenever they feel that they cannot, in good faith and with an open mind, hear the dispute impartially and without prejudgment of the specific case before the Board. If a member refuses to disqualify himself or herself and a party objects, the Chairperson of the Judicial Board shall determine whether or not the member must withdraw. If the Judicial Board Chairperson does not disqualify himself or herself and a party objects, non-challenged members of the Board shall determine if the chairperson should be disqualified. Judicial Board members who are charged with a violation of campus policy may not participate in the adjudication of their own case. If more than two members must disqualify themselves, the Emergency Procedures herein described will take effect.
