Officers:

The honor council officers are a president, vice president, secretary, and faculty advisor. These officers are elected by a simple majority of the current honor council members.

Honor Council President: This student must have at least one year of experience on the honor council. The president also serves as a representative on the University Honor Council. The president arranges for and presides at all hearings and meetings of the college honor council and performs all duties common to this office. The president does not vote during the deliberations in Formal Hearings to decide guilt or innocence. The president can, however, cast the deciding vote on sanctions in the event of a tie. The president administers the following oath to new members:

    I do solemnly promise to uphold the policies of the honor council and to perform the duties of my office to the best of my ability.

Vice President: The vice president assumes the duties of the president in the event of his or her absence.

Secretary: The secretary assists the president in matters relevant to the function of the honor council. The secretary also notifies those concerned of the time and place of hearings and meetings and records minutes of all honor council meetings. Further, the secretary maintains detailed minutes of hearings, both Preliminary and Formal, before the honor council. These minutes will be kept as the official record as they contain the date of the hearings, participants, charges, testimony, findings, verdicts, recommendations, and penalties. The dean assists the honor council in maintaining a secure, permanent location for all confidential records.

Faculty Advisor: The faculty advisor attends all subcommittee meetings and hearings in an advisory capacity and serves as a resource for honor council members. The faculty advisor does not vote in proceedings, but may voice his or her opinion. The faculty advisor serves as a resource for an accuser when unsure if a violation has occurred.

The term of each student officer is one academic school year. Officers may serve two or more consecutive terms, if so elected.
