Article XIV: Misconduct Process

Section 1: Good Standing Checks

  1. If a student applies to be a member of the USS, the advising team must confirm their good standing with Student Conduct, the Honor System, academics, and the Corps of Cadets before the student can be approved for their application, interview and/or election process. Additionally, the advising team must conduct good standing checks at the beginning of each semester to ensure that good standing is maintained.

Section 2: Active Allegation

  1. The Deputy Advisor is a mandatory reporter and must follow the requirements of a responsible employee as outlined in University Policies 1025 and 1026. If a topic or issue does not align with the need for a university-level review, it is the responsibility of the Deputy Advisor to hold conversations with the involved USS member(s) to amend the concern or establish remedial steps with the goal of enabling the representative to remain in office. If the student continuously engages in behavior that indicates the need for reasonable concern regarding their efficacy as a leader, the Deputy Advisor and Senior Advisor for the USS uphold the right to remove them from their position with the USS.
