FOR INFORMATION

In May 1993, Senate appointed an ad hoc Committee to Review Academic Discipline and Student

Conduct policies. The committee developed a new series of policies and in June 1994, Senate

approved these policies and established two new bodies involved in matters of misconduct, the

University Board on Student Discipline and the Senate Committee on Disciplinary Appeals. These

four policies came into effect in September 1994.

The new policy has been in place for three and a half years, and it is appropriate to have a review

to ensure they are working effectively. The Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules has therefore

approved the establishment of an ad hoc committee to receive input about the policies with a view

to refining these policies. The review committee will have the following terms of reference and
