Acting as designees of the Dean of Students, the Student Organization Ethics
Board fosters student learning and development by holding student

Responsibilities, and Conduct. The collaborative process will enhance
student civility, character, and citizenship while building a sense of
community, responsibility, and a respect for diversity. It consists of one

be able to identify in-depth problems in an organization’s culture. They
will also be asked to create educational and innovative initiatives for
student organizations found responsible.
