Student Conflict and Community Responsibilities is recruiting students and staff members for the 2025-2026 University Hearing Panel (UHP). The UHP reviews information in cases where students are alleged to have violated the Code of Student Conduct, hears from people involved in the incident, and reaches a decision that could include educational sanctioning. If you are a student interested in serving as a volunteer, please complete this application by March 31. Faculty members should reach out to Academic Senate for details about the faculty appointment process.

For additional information about the UHP, visit  Student Conduct and Community Responsibilities.
