  • Resolution:
  • Day:
    April 15, 2026
  • Action:
    Conveyed to the President
  • Summary / Notes:

    Dear President Kotlikoff,


    I hope this email finds you well. It is my pleasure to convey UA R1: Resolution Regarding Proposed Student Code of Conduct Reform, adopted by a vote of 11-0-1.


    This resolution addresses proposed changes to the student code of conduct, and communicates the sense of the University Assembly that revisions to the Code should provide greater protections for students in the use of temporary or emergency suspensions, greater independence of the process from central administration, and retain a clear and convincing standard of proof. The resolution is addressed to the President and the Code and Procedures Review Committee (CPRC), whose final recommendations will be submitted during a period of public comment.

    Thank you for your time, and please let me know if you have any questions.


    Warm Regards,

    Irene
