campus judicial board (cjb)

Composition of the CJB is as follows: two students recommended by the President of Student Government Association and appointed by the Chancellor; two faculty members recommended by the Faculty Senate Chairperson and appointed by the Chancellor; and, one administrative member recommended by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and appointed by the Chancellor. Hearings follow procedures outlined in the UNCP Student Constitution. The CJB will judge the student as responsible or not responsible of the charges contained in the form submitted by the faculty member. Both the student who has been charged with a violation and the faculty member who has made the charge will give evidence to support their positions. Members of the CJB may question either the student or the faculty member or both and may ask for additional materials as they see fit to do so. In a closed session, the CJB will come to a conclusion about the validity of the charges.

If the student charged with a violation of the Academic Honor Code is found not responsible, the CJB prepares a written report of the case and sends it to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, who will maintain a confidential file of materials related to the case. No part of the file becomes part of the student’s disciplinary record. The case is closed, and no penalty may be imposed.

If a student is found responsible of violating the Academic Honor Code, the CJB will determine an appropriate penalty. Both the student and faculty member who submitted the charge may give evidence and make statements concerning the appropriate penalties to be imposed. The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs will supply the student’s previous Academic Honor Code disciplinary record (if any) to the CJB.

After hearing the evidence on the appropriate penalty, the CJB will determine the penalty, and prepare a written report to the student and the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs notifies the faculty member and the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the contents of that report. If the CJB decides that a penalty of a grade of F in the course (or one less severe) is appropriate, the faculty member imposes that penalty and no other penalty. If a more severe penalty is deemed appropriate, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs implements the penalty indicated in the report. The student will be notified by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs within five days of the CJB’s determination of penalty.

CJB members are necessarily excluded from deliberations in which:

1. The board member is related to one of the two principals.
2. The board member is a departmental colleague of one of the principals.
3. The board member is currently enrolled in a course taught by one of the principals.
4. The board member is one of the two principals involved.

All questions of scheduling and satisfying deadlines shall be adjudicated by the Chairperson of the CJB.

All records of the Board’s deliberations shall be kept in a file maintained by the Office of Academic Affairs in accordance with the University Records Retention and Disposition Schedule.

Nothing in this policy should be construed as a violation of academic freedom expressed in The Code of The University of North Carolina.
