Members must be able to deal with highly confidential information and are expected to:
The Student Community Board (SCB) is a group of undergraduate students who are selected by the Office of Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution to hear cases of alleged misconduct within the Loyola community on a peer to peer level. The Student Community Board supports and cares for the Loyola community and the student population by demonstrating balance between peer accountability, educating students, and truly taking an interest in and advocating for students and their concerns as they relate to the conduct process. SCB strives to create a fair and open environment for students involved in the conduct process where students can emerge confident that they have been heard and taken seriously by their peers. SCB also provides opportunities for students to learn and grow from any incident(s) that lead them to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution.
What can I expect at a Student Community Board hearing?
Hearings with the Student Community Board are very similar to normal administrative hearings. First, you will be greeted by five members of the SCB, who will take a few minutes to introduce themselves and get to know you. Then, we will ask to hear your perspective on the incident in question, and will likely ask you questions to better understand the situation. Once you have discussed your perspective on the incident, you will be provided with a copy of the incident report submitted to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution. We will give you time to look over the incident report, answer any questions you might have, address any issues, and ask further questions about the incident. There will then be a break so that we can take some time to deliberate - during this time, you will be asked to wait in CFSU or Rambler Room until deliberation is over. After coming to a decision regarding your responsibility in the incident, we will also inform you of any sanctions that have been assigned to you. After that, you're free to go! The Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution will send you a decision letter via email, which will also provide details and deadlines for sanctions (if applicable).
