Membership and Elections:

Each college has an honor council. The honor councils for the Colleges of Dental Medicine, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy consist of two representatives from each class, at least two faculty representatives, and an honor council faculty advisor. The honor council for the College of Nursing consists of four representatives from each class, at least two faculty representatives, and an honor council advisor. The honor councils for the Colleges of Graduate Studies and Health Professions consist of one representative from each program, at least two faculty representatives, and an honor council faculty advisor. Each college will publish specific guidelines for the election of honor council representatives.

Student representatives: Student members serve as members of the honor council until the end of their time on campus. Upon departure, a new student member from the same class or program shall be selected by student elections.

Faculty/Administrative representatives: Faculty members serve a one-year term, and may be reappointed. The faculty representatives are voting members and can vote in the Formal Hearings. The dean appoints faculty representatives.

Faculty advisors: Every three years, at the end of the spring semester, the honor council elects, by simple majority, an Honor Council Faculty Advisor who serves a three-year term. Faculty advisors must be full-time faculty members in the college for which they serve. They may serve multiple and consecutive terms. If the advisor is presently serving as a faculty representative when elected, the dean appoints a replacement faculty representative. If the faculty advisor is not able to perform the necessary duties, a faculty representative will temporarily fill the required position. Faculty advisors are not voting members, but they ensure due process and to provide guidance and continuity from year to year.
