AS Ethics Board



The ASWWU is implementing a new Ethics Board this year that has 12 PAID students at-large positions that are open now!



Spring elections are right around the corner and our new AS Ethics Board will hold hearings for AS Election Code violations. These student positions will be paid $150 for around 10-15 hours of work, which includes training time. If you are a student, you are qualified. No prior experience is necessary.

>From the group of 12 students at-large- four separate panels, each including 3 students at-large, a student coordinator to take notes, and a Residential Director as the chair to give context, will convene to hear each filed and legitimate grievance to determine the appropriate outcome.
