Judiciary
Program
- The University Judiciary Program was
developed in 1985 to adjudicate infractions of the University's
Student Code of Conduct and other University policies. Through
a system of campus courts and trained advisers, reported infractions
are considered and appropriate penalties are assessed. The University
Judiciary Program strives to assure a fair and impartial consideration
of charges of misconduct against any student.
-
- The University Judicial Panel is composed
of at least fifteen selected students and fifteen appointed faculty/staff
members who are trained to participate knowledgeably in the Judicial
Program. The training enables Panel members to hear complaints,
arrive at fair and impartial conclusions and deliver clear and
direct recommendations.
-
- The Judiciary structure includes the
University Court, which handles charges against students for
alleged violations of the KSU Student Code of Conduct, and the
Traffic Court, which hears appeals of student parking citations.Ý
Each court is composed of both faculty/staff and student members
of the Judiciary. In addition, if requested, a Judiciary member
may have the opportunity to act as an advisor on behalf of the
student or faculty member, assisting in the preparation and presentation
of a case before the University Court.
-
- Students are invited to apply to become
a member of the Judiciary Panel. Requirements include:
- a minimum 2.8 overall G.P.A.;

Code of Conduct are upheld;
