Student Judiciary Board
The Student Judiciary Board (SJB) hears cases regarding violations of College policies and regulations. The SJB assigns appropriate action, which is then implemented by the Dean of Student Affairs Office. Cases may be referred to the SJB by the Dean of Student Affairs Office staff or initiated by a student complaint. Students who wish to file charges against another student through the SJB can consult with the Dean of Students for guidance and information. Prior to a hearing, the Dean of Students and the SJB chair are available to assist with issues concerning personal safety or process only. See the procedures outlined for the SJB in the Constitution of the Bard College Student Association.
