SUBJECT:

Revisions to the UC San Diego Student Conduct Code and Student Conduct Regulations

The Office of Student Conduct is proposing a set of revisions to the UC San Diego Student Conduct Code and Student Conduct Regulations to go into effect for Fall 2015. Some of the key proposed changes include:

· Revising and realigning the student conduct process for Student Organizations.

· Including an electronic copy of the applicable incident report(s) with Administrative Resolution meeting letters and Student Conduct Review letters.

· Adding retaliation and misuse of prescribed medication, over the counter drugs, and/or other controlled substances to the Conduct in Violation of Community Standards.

· Eliminating non-binding, advisory sanction recommendations by Conduct Boards and Review Officers.

· Revising and clarifying the appeals and sanction reduction request processes.

· Revising two sections of the Student Conduct Standards: Student Organization Policy and Campus Emergencies Policy.

The proposed changes have been reviewed and discussed by the Student Conduct Standards Group. After incorporating feedback from the group, they are now available for review and comment by the greater campus community.

To view summaries of the proposed changes and redlined versions of the Code and Regulations showing the proposed changes, go to studentconduct.ucsd.edu.

Please direct all public comment on the proposed changes to Ben White, Director of Student Conduct, at studentconduct@ucsd.edu by Friday, May 8, 2015.
