The Committee on Disciplinary Action consists of 6 members - 3 faculty selected by Faculty Senate - 3 students selected by Student Senate. Committee appoints its own Chairman. The function of the Committee is to review such cases as are referred to it and to indicate the disciplinary action which it believes should be taken in each case. The Committee has no original jurisdiction. Personnel deans will refer to the Committee cases of serious offenses which may involve severe disciplinary action.

6. Appeals made to President who primarily reviews case on basis of whether student's due process denied. 

On two of three Regents campuses during 1969-70, the judicial structure, as outlined, broke down. At SUI, the Student Senate refused to name its members to the Committee. Hearings were also being seriously disrupted prior to the Senate action. The Committee was replaced by a Hearing Officer (Judge Garfield) to conduct hearings on all charges of serious student misconduct. The officer would recommend hearings to be imposed to the President. The Hearing Officer was also given authority to temporarily suspend students who disrupt or interfere with the hearings. The new procedure went into effect at the end of January, 1970. Only one case was heard so the effectiveness of this procedure has not really been properly evaluated.
