University of Michigan. Committee on Student Discipline.

The Regents of the University of Michigan, upon the recommendation of the University Senate, formed the Committee on Student Discipline in June of 1922. Consisting of members appointed by college deans and the university president, the jurisdiction of the committee included cases of impropriety involving male students that attended more than one college or school within the university, or cases referred to the committee by the dean of that student's college. "The decisions of the University Committee on discipline are final in all cases, but the President of the University shall be consulted (whenever practicable) before any final action is taken resulting in suspension or expulsion" ( Board of Regents Proceedings , 1922, pg. 506). At that time, the Dean of Women handled cases involving female students.

In 1934, the university changed the name of the Committee on Student Discipline to the Committee on Student Conduct. While its membership remained the same, the new committee was "charged with the task of formulating and interpreting principles of conduct..." ( Board of Regents Proceedings , 1934, pg. 353). The Committee on Student Conduct formed a Subcommittee on Discipline to adjudicate specific cases of misconduct. The subcommittee was comprised of staff appointed by the chair of the committee. The subcommittee invited students from the Men's Student Council and the Michigan League to meetings, but these student participants did not receive a vote.
