SUBJECT:

UC San Diego Student Conduct Code Revisions

During Spring Quarter 2016, the Office of Student Conduct proposed a set of revisions to the UC San Diego Student Conduct Code. The proposed changes were initially reviewed by the Student Conduct Standards Group. Feedback was received from the greater campus community in an open campus comment period and final changes were reviewed and approved by Chancellor Khosla, Campus Counsel, the UC Office of the President, Ethics and Compliance and the Associated Students Council.

The revisions will go into effect on September 15th, 2016 and may be reviewed here:

Some of the key changes include:

• The Student Conduct Review process will now be handled by the Community Standards Board or a Review Officer.
• Revision and clarification of the interim suspension process.
• Clarification on the adjudication process for harassment and discrimination cases.
• The incorporation of the Graduate Housing Policies, which are created and maintained by Housing, Dining & Hospitality, in Section VII, Letter F.
• The addition and revision of several definitions for greater clarity, including “Notice of Inappropriate Conduct”, “Policy and Procedure Manual”, “Student Organization” and “Knives.”
