The Office of Judicial Affairs is currently seeking staff and faculty justices for the 2005-6 academic year

The position calls for members of the Ithaca College staff and faculty to serve as justices for Ithaca College Conduct Review Board and Conduct Appeal Board hearings. These conduct boards are charged with the responsibility of protecting and enforcing the rules and regulations set down in the Ithaca College Student Conduct Code's "Statement of Responsibilities." The Conduct Review Board and Appeal Board hear cases of alleged academic and non-academic misconduct by Ithaca College students. The board will determine if a student should be found responsible for the alleged violations, and if found responsible, impose judicial sanctions that range from written warning to expulsion from the College.

Some of the personal qualities expected for all student, staff, and faculty justices include:

Strong interpersonal skills (listening skills, communication skills, assertiveness, etc.)
The ability to think clearly and to identify and articulate timely and effective questions during the course of a hearing.
Ability to evaluate the facts of a case and come to an objective decision.
Ability to function well in a group.
Ability to maintain confidentiality and discretion.
Positive role model for the Ithaca College community.
Genuine interest in and commitment to the position.

One year of service at Ithaca College is recommended to ensure that the staff or faculty member has a working knowledge of the College system and organization, but this is not a requirement. Staff and faculty justices can expect to be asked to serve on a hearing probably no more than twice during a given semester. When a board hearing does take place, a justice should be prepared for a process that could require a very lengthy day and/or evening commitment. (e.g., 2-4 hours)
