The Office of Student Support is looking for Students, Staff, and Faculty to Serve as Board Hearing Panelists:

Board Hearings adjudicate concerns that are referred by a Hearing Officer or Senior Hearing Officer and based on their determination that the matter is a significant concern or repeat offense. Board Hearing Panelists are dedicated students, staff and faculty that play a critical role in supporting The University of Baltimore’s mission and ensure a process that values health, safety, equity and fairness.

Each board consists of five (5) Board Hearing Panelists and a Senior Hearing Officer. The composition of this group includes two (2) staff or faculty members and three (3) students.

Board Hearing Panelists receive training to serve as adjudicators for Board Hearings. Individuals chosen to serve in this capacity represent a diverse group of individuals from across the institution. Board Hearing Panelists receive contact on an as needed basis to hear cases.

Qualifications:

Students

• Be an enrolled undergraduate, graduate or professional student in good standing with the institution.   
• Complete required training sessions
• Maintain confidentiality in regard to ALL information discussed during hearings 

 Faculty and Staff

• Complete all required training sessions
• Maintain confidentiality in regard to ALL information discussed during hearings 

Time Commitment:

Board Hearings typically only occur a few times a year and generally occur on Fridays. Typical hearings are resolved in 90 minutes, though some cases may require up to three hours or subsequent meetings. Outside of hearings, the only other requirement is to take part in the mandatory training for all Board Hearing Panelists and maintain the confidentiality of all information discussed during hearings.

Benefits of serving as Board Hearing Panelist:

Individuals who have served in this role in the past generally report enjoying the experience and ultimately learning more about the student conduct process and the University as a whole. Additionally, many are also able to add it to their resume to bolster their experience.

How to Become a Board Hearing Panelist:

• Meet the membership qualifications
• Complete the Application
• Participate in Mandatory Training

*Please note that the Board Hearing is distinct from the Honor Board that oversees issues of Academic Misconduct within The University of Baltimore School of Law.
