The committee’s responsibilities include oversight of all out-of-classroom activities and what is often called the “student experience,” along with student health and wellness.
The committee will work with Residential and Hospitality Services and with Student Affairs and Services to assure that life in a residence hall, in a Greek house or in off-campus housing and the services that a student needs on campus, are consistent with the expectations of our world-class university. Included in the responsibility is health: the physical, emotional and mental health of our community of learners; and safety, on campus of off campus. The committee is concerned with all General Student Rights and Responsibilities, or SRR, including those for graduate and medical students (GSRR and MSRR). The committee reviews policies and issues related to student conduct and the Office of Institutional Equity. They are liaison to the Associated Students of MSU, the Council of Graduate Students and Residential and Hospitality Services.
The committee will also be the liaison to the Department of Athletics for our student-athletes, as well as the intramural programs that reach thousands of students. The ombudsperson and dean of students will report regularly to this committee so there is board awareness of student concerns and issues. The committee also addresses issues around the relationship of the university with surrounding communities.
