The UW-Madison Offices of the Dean of Students are holding a public comment forum March 4 to address the proposed changes to state rules on student conduct.
Under review are the standards and procedures for addressing student nonacademic misconduct and conduct on university land by students and nonstudents alike, according to the UW System.
Revisions to the state rules aim to establish clear guidelines for students, student affair administrators, UW police officers, other employees and visitors on all UW System campuses.
The UW System committee charged with reviewing current policy consists of campus representatives and students and is expected to make recommendations to the UW System Board of Regents in April.
Following the committee's recommendation, the Regents will submit the new rules to state lawmakers to become enacted into new UW System policies.
The forum will be open to the entire campus, and UW-Madison community members are encouraged to submit suggestions regarding the procedures at http://www.wisconsin.edu/admincode/feedback.htm.
