Section 174-123-200. Board composition.

(1) The board will be composed of five members consisting of one faculty member, one staff member, and three students. One member will be designated by the vice-president to serve as the chair of the board for a hearing.

(2) The faculty agenda committee will designate faculty members to serve on the student conduct appeals board as needed.

(3) The vice-president for student affairs will be responsible for designating the student and staff members serving on the board. The student members, including the selection of alternate members to serve as necessary, will be done through an open selection process established by the vice-president.

(4) A respondent, complainant, and/or the student conduct administrator may request removal of a member of the board at the commencement of the hearing for reasons of bias, prejudice or conflict of interest. The chair of the board will be responsible for making decisions regarding removal, unless the student is requesting removal of the chair. When there is a request to remove the chair, and the chair does not voluntarily step down, a quorum of the remaining members will decide whether removal is warranted. If a member is removed, an appropriate alternate member (i.e., faculty, student or staff) will serve on the board for the excused member.
