What is the Student Conduct Committee?

The Student Conduct Committee (SCC) is a vital part of the student conduct process at Western Oregon University, where allegations of student misconduct are resolved. The SCC meets periodically to hear and adjudicate conduct cases for students at Western who are allegedly in violation of the Student Code of Responsibility. The SCC pool is composed of students, faculty, and staff, who review evidence, question those involved, and evaluate appropriate sanctions should the Committee find the person responsible for the violation.
