Leadership Opportunity – University Hearing Boards
The Office of Student Judicial Affairs is offering a unique leadership opportunity for both undergraduate and graduate students to serve on University hearing boards. Hearing Boards are a group of faculty staff and students that hear cases concerning the breaking of University of Akron’s Code of Conduct. After the case has been heard the Hearing Board will assess responsibility and will then apply sanctions to the accused.
