UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE
University Committee Student-at-Large (Various Committees)
University Committee Descriptions:
The OEO/AA office is responsible for providing a fair, thorough, and impartial process for investigating complaints of discrimination at the University of Utah, including sexual misconduct (sexual harassment, sexual violence, etc.).
In matters involving students, the OEO/AA conducts the investigation, collects evidence, and makes findings about what happened based on that evidence, and whether or not what happened was a violation of University Policies. Once we’ve made a finding, we send that report to the Office of the Dean of Students, who, in cases where we find there has been a policy violation, then makes recommendations for appropriate sanctions. Either party (the complainant, or the respondent) can request a hearing to review the OEO/AA findings, or the sanction if they disagree with either or both.
he students called to serve on these committees would serve with a combination of staff and faculty from a wide variety of departments and colleges on campus. During a hearing, students will review evidence presented at the hearing, from both sides of the complaint, and deliberate with the other hearing committee members to come to a decision regarding the findings and the sanctions.
Serves as a campus-wide committee with jurisdiction to hear all charges of student misconduct against individual students, undergraduate or graduate, except for those offenses which are delegated from time to time to other committees by explicit action of the Board of Trustees; has authority to impose appropriate sanctions for established acts of student misconduct; reports to the Vice President for Student Affairs and Services.
Hears and adjudicates appeals from students, faculty, staff members, and University visitors and guests who are not satisfied with the rulings of the Parking Appeals Officer concerning contested parking citations issued on the campus; reports to the Vice President for Administrative Services.
Reviews and makes recommendations in individual cases relating to retention, promotion, or tenure of regular faculty; when there are differing recommendations from any of the prior levels of review, when the cases originate in colleges/schools that are organized and function as single departments, or when recommendations are made for appointments with tenure; reports to the cognizant vice president.
