Purpose
The University-wide Standing Disciplinary Committee on Disruptive Conduct (Disruptive Conduct Committee) is a standing committee appointed by the Office of the Provost and includes faculty, staff, and students specifically tasked with addressing reported allegations that a student has engaged in disruptive conduct, i.e., conduct that falls outside of the principles of free expression and meets the definition supplied by Statute 21. The Committee evaluates evidence to determine whether a student respondent has violated University policy and determines appropriate sanctions, as necessary. The Associate Dean of Students in the University, Center for Student Integrity works closely with the Committee and encourages students to apply for membership.

- If appointed to the Committee, students will be required to attend all educational sessions to learn how the Committee operates and what would be expected of them as a member.
- Students who are not present or actively engaged in the Committee may lose member status.
- Terms for the Committee expire at the conclusion of the 2024-25 academic year, with the possibility of reappointment.
Application and Selection Process
Every year, the Committee seeks students (representing the College, graduate divisions, and professional schools) to serve a term of one academic year.
