The Committee consists of twenty-seven Representatives elected from the thirteen undergraduate and graduate schools of the University for one-year terms beginning April 1. Each school elects two Representatives, except for the College of Arts and Sciences which elects three. Representatives serve as judges during University Judiciary Committee trials and are responsible for committee policy and procedure.

Recent Case Statistics

During the spring 2022 semester, the UJC adjudicated 12 cases. Of these, 9 were heard by the UJC and 3 were heard by the FYJC. 5 cases were related to University Covid-19 policies which involved 0 individual students and 5 student organizations. All 5 student organizations were FOA organizations, the University's designation for social Greek-letter fraternities and sororities. Among all cases, 1 was adjudicated via Hearing Panel rather than by trial. The UJC continues to hear cases regularly and additional statistics will be published again at the close of the fall 2022 semester.
