Composition of the Judicial Board

The assistant dean of students for rights and responsibilities shall determine the composition of the judicial board on an annual basis. The SNHU judicial board will be minimally composed of three students, one faculty member, and one staff member chosen on a rotational basis from the membership of the entire board.

Certain circumstances may necessitate seven members to hear cases as opposed to five. At least three students will minimally hear each case regardless of the total number of judicial board members. The assistant dean of students will serve as the advisor to the board, and will not have a vote.

Should students believe that any voting board member is biased or could not render an impartial judgment, the student may challenge the individual’s participation in the judicial board hearing. The assistant dean will rule on such challenges, and the decision will be final.
