Data

The Office of the Dean of Students tracks and reports data on the number and types of cases received each year, including both academic and behavioral violations. This data helps us better understand trends, allocate resources, and support the campus community. Cases are resolved through an educational and student-centered process that ensures fairness, upholds university policies, and promotes accountability. Outcomes are determined based on the nature and severity of the violation, with resolutions ranging from restorative conversations and educational sanctions to formal disciplinary action. By sharing this information, we aim to foster transparency and reinforce our commitment to a safe and respectful campus environment.

A case can be resolved through one of the following processes: academic liaisons, mutual agreements, administrative hearings, or student conduct committee hearings. More information about these processes can be found in the Student Disciplinary Policy. This data is based on date of incident.
