The justice position calls for members of the Ithaca College staff and faculty to serve as justices for Ithaca College Conduct Review Board hearings.  The Conduct board is 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 hears 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 charge(s) they allegedly violated, and if found responsible, impose judicial sanctions that range from written warning to removal from the College.  The goal of the judicial system is the balance between holding a student accountable for their actions and providing an educational component to their sanction that impacts them in a positive manner and helps them to make more thoughtful decisions in the future.  We strive to assist students in becoming positive and successful members of the Ithaca College community.

 

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

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 staff or faculty justice should be prepared for a process that could require a time commitment of 1 to 3 hours.  We typically conduct about 10 boards in a given academic year.

If you are interested in becoming a staff or faculty justice, email cbarnes@ithaca.edu by Wednesday, September 12, 2018.

We are also seeking faculty and staff members to volunteer for the Process Advisor position for students involved in cases of sexual misconduct.  The Process Advisors will be part of a pool available to alleged survivors and alleged perpetrators as they go through the investigative and judicial process.  The Process Advisors will be able to offer support and direction for a student throughout the process including attendance at all meetings related to the sexual misconduct case. There will be a special training session for those interested in either role (advisor or justice) during the early part of the fall semester. The date and time will be determined based on the availability of the trainers.  Please contact Mike Leary, Assistant Director of Judicial Affairs at 607-274-3375 or mleary@ithaca.edu by Wednesday, September 12, 2018, if you are interested in being an advisor for the upcoming academic year or have questions about the position.
