What is the Student Conduct Hearing Panel?
The Student Conduct Hearing Panel (SCHiP) is the conduct review board composed of undergraduate and graduate student peers for the campus community at 91Porn. SCHiP is responsible for hearing conduct cases involving potential Student Code of Conduct violations. The primary purpose of SCHiP is to educate students about campus policies and regulations while encouraging them to consider what it means to be responsible members of the community, accountable for their actions.
SCHiP members determine whether or not a violation of campus policies and procedures has occurred and appropriate sanctions if they determine it has occurred. As a member of SCHiP, students have an opportunity to have a voice and actively participate in maintaining NEIU’s health community of learning.
