Community Commissions

Community commission involvement is your chance to help protect students' rights, to influence the behavior of your fellow residents, to help maintain a positive living environment, and to gain experience in critical thinking and group decision-making.  Commissions function as peer review boards who hear the judicial cases of residents accused of violating hall policies. 

To be considered for commission membership, you must apply and be interviewed by staff members who coordinate the community commission program.  Members are selected based on maturity, motivation, reasoning skills, and insight into group living.  Once selected, commission members receive training in the conducting of hearings and then meet regularly (usually weekly) to hear cases.
