Hearing Board
The Hearing Board serves as an objective hearing body for both academic and nonacademic cases. Members of the Board—faculty, staff, and students—are dedicated to educating and hearing students, while also balancing the needs of the Babson community.
Students join the Board to enhance their critical thinking, effective listening, and communication skills. In addition to hearing cases, the members of the Board also serve as the appeals party for cases heard through the Educational Conference process.
The 2023–24 board members will have the opportunity to engage in subcommittees which will further the mission of Community Standards. These subcommittees include: Community Education, Academic Integrity, Hearing Board Programming & Training, and Marketing & Communications.
