University Standards Board

The University Standards Board is composed of members of the University faculty and staff. The Director of Residence Life and Community Standards or designee serves as an advisor and attends all meetings to provide input concerning procedural matters. Cases are referred to the University Standards Board by the Director of Residence Life and Community Standards or designee. The University Standards Board is convened when an alleged violation of William Woods University Community Standards has the potential to result in a sanction of suspension or dismissal. The University Standards Board also hears alleged violations of the William Woods University Title IX policy involving students. At least three members, but no more than five members, of the board must be present for a hearing to take place unless all parties agree that two is sufficient. Hearings are conducted in private and are not open to the public.
