January 29: SCAPP Report now published online.

The College Hearing Board (CHB) is charged with maintaining the Wheaton College Honor Code. The College’s judicial policies, practices, and sanctions are designed for the purpose of education and are not to be equated with state or federal laws or the criminal justice system. The disciplinary system seeks to educate students so that they understand both personal freedoms and the limits of belonging to and living in a diverse academic community.

The Board is comprised of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Member-at-Large, two faculty members and the Dean or Associate Dean in Students. The members are: Stephanie Funt ‘11, Chair; Chris Van Hise ’11, Vice Chair; David Perelman ‘11, Secretary; Hannah Allen ‘12, Member at Large; Professor Gerard Huiskamp, Political Science; Professor Ann Sears, Music;  Dean Jack Kuszaj, Associate Dean of Students.

The CHB has jurisdiction over both Academic and Social violations. For more details on what exactly constitutes an academic violation, please consult the Student Handbook . The Handbook also outlines what constitutes a social violation of the Honor Code. Our Judicial Procedures are listed on the website , and are independent of the SGA Constitution.

Appeals of CHB decisions can be made to the Appellate Board, but only as a procedural appeal. That is, in the event that we did not follow our procedures. For more severe sanctions, students may appeal to the Office of the President of the College, and the President can take action, if so desired.

A final note: No student or community member has an entitlement or right to a hearing before the College Hearing Board or Appellate Board, or to the college’s strict adherence to the procedures set forth herein. The above does not constitute a contract to any person. The college, in its sole discretion, may alter a
ny of the above steps or procedures, as it deems necessary given the facts and circumstances of each situation.

If any senator has questions regarding the Honor Code, the CHB, or any Judicial Practices, I urge them to refer to the judicial procedures on the website , from which the content on this sheet is copied from, or to talk to the Chair.
