Board members can serve on six different boards, including Residence Hall Area Board, All-University Student Judiciary, Student-Faculty Judiciary, University Student Appeals Board, University Academic Integrity Review Board and Anti-Discrimination Judicial Board.

Board members hear and rule on cases about student issues. The majority of the cases deal with alcohol, drugs and altercations, Associate Director of Student Life Rick Shafer said.

Shafer said the best candidates for judicial board positions have the ability to reserve judgement and represent the university’s diversity.

Serving on the board will help reinforce the university’s liberal learning goals, including integrated judgement, cultural understanding and effective citizenship, Shafer said.
