The conduct process at colleges and universities can sometimes be controversial. Since its procedures differ so much from the ones that play out in courtrooms, the process can often leave students and their families unsure of their rights and the basic functions of the system.
Here’s a breakdown of who is involved in the conduct process at Syracuse University and how it works:
In conduct proceedings, SU gets to make the rules and change them at will

When Alpha Chi Rho sued Syracuse University in June after being suspended, the fraternity argued that university officials led a conduct proceeding riddled with errors.
Most alarming to the fraternity and its lawyers was how one university official single-handedly changed the trajectory of the case.
After a student alleged that members of the fraternity shouted a racial slur at a student, a University Conduct Board suspended Crow, claiming that a guest of the fraternity may have shouted the slur. But a University Appeals Board said no policy exists at SU that would make the fraternity responsible for the actions of a guest. The appeals board overturned the prior ruling and threw out the suspension.

SA Sen. Cordelia Scales, SEAS-U and the sponsor of The Code of Academic Integrity Approval Act, said the updates clarify procedures in handling academic integrity violations “in certain situations.”
The Student Association Senate unanimously approved legislation to support updating language in the Code of Academic Integrity at a meeting Monday.
Updates to the code include allowing certain violations to not remain on a student’s transcript after graduation and requesting “a restorative and educational approach” be taken for “low-level” violations. Senators also approved two co-sponsorship requests amounting in total to more than $40,000 and confirmed three new members to the senate.
