University of Richmond: Judicial Council

The University of Richmond Judicial Council serves to promote a high standard of personal conduct among the students of the University of Richmond.  The Judicial Council functions as an hearing or appeal board for any Dean's Office sanctions concerning the violation of University Policy (housing policy, personal conduct, and other social standards). The Richmond College and Westhampton College Judicial Councils have merged to increase collaboration, options for accused students, and fairness.  In the cases that we have seen thus far, these changes have assisted the Judicial Council in ensuring equity and fairness, while helping the process to run more smoothly.
