SJSU is committed to ensuring a safe learning and living environment for students, faculty, and staff. The privilege of attending San José State University is accompanied by certain responsibilities to ensure this environment. The California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 41301 establishes behavioral expectations of our students to promote safety and good citizenship. The California State University issued Executive Order No. 1043, named Student Conduct Procedures, on August 3, 2009 to outline procedures for administering the Student Conduct Code as well as ensuring students' rights to due process. Executive Order No. 1043 supersedes Executive Order No. 740. The process is intended to be educational in nature, and appropriate sanctions may be administered.
At San José State University the responsibility for administering the Student Conduct Code resides with the Director of Student Conduct and Ethical Development in the Division of Student Affairs. This position is responsible for carrying out the duties in Executive Order No. 1043 assigned to the Student Conduct Administrator, including the determination of whether to initiate disciplinary action.
Use of attorneys is not permitted in student conduct proceedings at San José State University. This includes the informal conferences as well as formal disciplinary hearings. (See EO 1043, Article III, Section 3 for additional details about attorneys.)
The duties of the president in Executive Order No. 1043 are delegated to the Vice President for Student Affairs, including the appointment of hearing officers (Article III), review of final reports of hearing officers and issuing notice of the final decision (Article IV, Sections 5 and 6), and the imposition of interim suspension (Article VI).
