Dorado reviewed committee functions and memberships. Currently, the committee is waiting for associations from SGA, full-time faculty, and adjunct faculty to assign members. It is best to decide on meeting dates once members are assigned to avoid schedule conflicts. Follow-Up Items: Send meeting dates and time to committee.

Committee reviewed and discussed the recently approved Student Standards of Conduct and Academic Integrity guidelines and procedures. Dorado provided a brief history of how and why the two were separated. He encouraged members to use the most current policies. One of the main focus for this committee is to disseminate information and train faculty and staff of the new guidelines and procedures. Dorado provided many student/faculty examples to help members understand appeals process. Decisions/Actions: Committee agreed training for faculty and staff is needed. It is also important students are informed and aware if their rights. Follow-Up Items: Contact Missy Paterson to discuss a training for faculty.

Student Complaint form should be more accessible as it takes too many clicks to reach the form. Student complaint procedures and repository will need to be reviewed further. Questions about who manages the repository were asked. Committee needs to decide if the Student Discipline form is needed, if yes it needs to be amended. Also, does the form consider student’s rights in the best possible way? Cheryl recommended faculty complete a professional development workshop/class on mediation. Follow-up Items: 1. Student complaint procedures in regards to the repository is something the committee needs to follow-up with. 2. Keep and amend Student Discipline Form?
