EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
At the University of Minnesota Duluth, the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) contributes to the University goals and continues to strive for improvement and innovation. Over the
past few years, updated legislation and compliance has been altering the function of many student conduct offices. At UMD we remain committed to an educational process with
all the necessary elements for compliance. The OSC shares the Annual Report publicly and with its internal and external constituents. This Annual Report will share the 2014-2015
statistics (charges, findings, sanctions, breakdown by college and residence hall) with some analysis, stories from various constituents, University-wide involvement, committee
participation, assessment results, budget, and strategic plan.
Outcomes
The Annual Report is a yearly process; there are continuous changes made for the betterment of our office, service to students and employees, processes, and policies. This year
some of the changes include: website improvement (a tab on Sex and Gender Violence, improved flow charts of processes, additional definitions, a Records webpage, Academic
Integrity Violation Sanctioning Suggestions, and gender inclusive options on the reporting form), production of Sex and Gender Violence: a Guide for Students, partnering with
Academic Affairs to increase reporting of Academic Dishonesty, diversity training in team meetings, updated the Chemical Health Assessment agreement, alignment of Housing
and Residence Life conduct processes, Maxient correspondence includes a disability statement, and staff adjustments. 2014-2015 was a challenging year as reported sex and
gender violence incidents increased due to significant guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, the Violence Against Women Act (specifically amendments to the Clery
Act), Minnesota Omnibus Bill, and media coverage regarding sexual misconduct.
As stated above, staffing changes include the appointment of new staff member, Benjamin Endres, and new student assistant, Hannah Schleder. Ben and Hannah have been
absolute tremendous additions to the OSC team. Additionally, the OSC continues to have 20% FTE support from the Student Life Office Manager, Carrie Gange. The OSC had
two student employees, Chelsea Tunell and Shelby Curry, graduate this year. With the two vacancies, the OSC has hired new employees, McCall Halliday and Abby Fischer, for
the 2015-2016 academic year.
Conclusions
The Office of Student Conduct is one of the main entities that works with students’ to resolve disciplinary matters and behavioral concerns. Our aim is to help students develop as
engaged, responsible, global citizens. We strive to have a transparent process where our office can support the University and our community. We have and continue to update our
process to better serve our community.

STORIES
Students
Katelyn Ruprecht, Integrated Elementary and Special Education Major – “I had a very pleasant experience with the Office of Student Conduct. The
workers in the lobby area were very kind and helpful; I felt that they conducted themselves professionally at all times. Throughout my experience with the Office
of Student Conduct I was respected by everyone I came in contact with. I was spoken to candidly and honestly, and my thoughts and opinions were always
considered. I am glad that UMD holds students to a high standard, and I am grateful for the level of respect and honesty that I received from the staff at the Office
of Student Conduct.”
Brian Robertson, Communications Major & Student Hearing Panelist – “There is so much that I have learned from being a student panelist in the Office
of Student Conduct. I am very pleased and happy that I took the opportunity to become a panelist in the office. They do a great job of training everyone that
decides they want to join the panel, and it really doesn't take up most of your time. The training really helped because I was able to learn about certain protocols
when serious issues came up and the Office of Student Conduct does a great job in getting people ready for the panel. At times some cases were hard depending
on what type of case it was. Being on the panel has provided me the ability to hold students accountable for their actions, if accused of certain rules broken within
the student conduct code.”
Internal Constituents
Dr. Gerald Pepper, Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education – “Nathaniel Schultz and the Office of Student Conduct worked closely with
Academic Affairs this year to revise two key policies: Student Academic Integrity and Student Academic Complaint Resolution, as well as the Report of Academic
Dishonesty form used by faculty to report student academic misconduct. Nathaniel and Lisa Erwin brought the need for revision to my attention and through an
iterative process of drafting/redrafting we were able to suggest appropriate changes to the policy language. Revisions were then taken to campus governance where
they were approved in April, 2015.”
Dr. Jennifer Mencl, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, Department Chair – “OSC is supportive in maintaining a positive learning
environment when faculty have classroom/student concerns. The office works collaboratively with faculty to determine the best ideas and solutions in handling
certain situations. The information and advice provided by the OSC is excellent and practical. Nathaniel has been particularly great to work with when faculty
encounter unusual situations.”
Ana Hammerschmidt, Associate Director of Housing & Residence Life – “I have appreciated Nathaniel’s willingness to work together Housing &
Residence Life (HRL) on student behavior issues this past year. Past practice was not one of strong collaboration and Nathaniel has worked hard to build a

7
collaborative relationship with HRL. He and I met weekly to talk through the case management of incidents that occur regarding students living on
campus. Additionally, we have worked to stream line things in Maxient and with Clery reporting. Programmatically Nathaniel included HRL in his “Enough is
Enough” educational efforts spring semester. I have appreciated Nathaniel’s openness to feedback and collaboration. I believe our joint efforts will continue to
evolve and serve students well.”
External Constituents
Jude Foster, Program Director for the Program to Aid Victims of Sexual Assault – “The UMD Office of Student Conduct has made great strides in
creating an investigative and disciplinary process that is victim centered and offender focused. The Office has worked collaboratively with victim service agencies
and the criminal justice system and brings campus sexual assault issues to the table in the community dialogue around sexual violence.”

EVENT INFORMATION
“Enough is Enough” is a national week long campaign promoted by NASPA aimed at stemming societal violence. Societal violence includes bullying
and cyber bullying, sexual assault, relationship violence, hate crimes, and more. The University of Minnesota-Duluth campus is an active yearly
participant in “Enough is Enough”. The campaign is sponsored and planned by the Office of Student Conduct.
Each year the OSC puts on programming aimed at educating students, staff, and faculty about issues of violence in our community. Utilizing both
outside and campus partners, we offered programming on multiple topics to reach a broad audience and educate students about multiple topics. The
topics included:
 Relationship Violence presented by Safe Haven
 The BEST Party Model presented by Men as Peacemakers
 Self Defense Training presented by UMD Police
 Screening of the film, “The Hunting Grounds” about sexual assaults on college campuses
 Sexual Assault Advocacy in Duluth presented by the Women’s Resource and Action Center
 Bystander Intervention Training presented by Peer Health Educators
Along with programming, students sign a pledge saying that they will do their part to stem societal violence on and off campus. This year we recorded
approximately 400 students who signed the pledge. Students who sign the pledge receive an “Enough is Enough” wristband to show their support of the
campaign.
UMD and the OSC have been taking part in the “Enough is Enough” campaign since 2013. The OSC hopes that this event will grow every year, adding
more community and campus partners, to make this event part of the campus culture.
This year’s partners included:
 Women’s Resource and Action Center (WRAC)
 Housing and Residence Life
 Safe Haven
 Men as Peacemakers
 Rotoract Club
 UMDPD
 Office of Cultural Diversity

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
TO: UMD Faculty Members
FROM: Office of Student Conduct
DATE: TBD
RE: Student Academic Integrity Policy
The UMD Campus Assembly approved the UMD Student Academic Integrity Policy on November 22, 2011. The policy defines academic integrity and
communicates to students, faculty, and staff the procedures for handling violations of the policy. The UMD Student Academic Integrity Policy may be found
at this website.
http://www.d.umn.edu/vcaa/StudentAcademicIntegrity.html
The Office of Student Conduct serves as the central reporting office on campus, promoting a holistic approach to administering the policy. Reporting
allegations to the Office of Student Conduct is mandatory through the process outlined on the following website.
http://d.umn.edu/conduct/assets/pdf/Report_of_Academic_Dishonesty.pdf
The Office of Student Conduct webpage was updated over the 2014 summer. There are helpful links for working with academic integrity issues, including
tips on meeting with students, the reporting process, how to differentiate between minor/moderate/major offenses, faculty and staff information, syllabus
statement examples, and the report for academic dishonesty.

COMPARISONS TREND REPORT
Fall 2014 Trends
The figure on page 23 illustrates the alcohol related cases from Fall 2014. The figure on page 24 lays those statistics over last year’s statistics during
the same period of time.
 The trends for both years are generally the same. We see a large spike at the beginning of the year when students return to school and
enforcement is high, and then smaller bumps for events mid-semester for homecoming and Halloween weekends.
 268 cases of 11b. Illegal or Unauthorized Use or Possession of Alcohol, up from 228 in Fall 2013.
 44 Social Hosts, down from 51 in Fall of 2013
Peaks in 11b. Illegal or Unauthorized Use or Possession of Alcohol, tend to coincide with peaks in Social Host violations. The increase in violations
of Subd. 11b. could be due to police issuing more Underage Consumption Tickets to party goers, rather than just citing the home owners, thus
explaining the increase in violations of 11b. despite a decrease in Social Hosts.
The data shows that Social Host violations during welcome week were reduced by 50% from 2013-2014. This suggests that students may be less
likely to have large gatherings and parties during Bulldog Welcome Week.
Spring 2015 Trends
The figure on page 25 illustrates the alcohol related cases from Spring 2015. The figure on page 26 lays those statistics over last year’s statistics
during the same period of time.
 Comparisons of the two-year trends show a similar trajectory. However, we see an abnormally large spike towards the end of Spring semester
2015. This spike was likely the result of one large party getting busted.
 121 cases of 11b. Illegal or Unauthorized Use or Possession of Alcohol, down from 128 in Spring 2014
 18 Social hosts, up from 9 in Spring 2014
Once again, we see large peaks in violations of 11b. coinciding with Social host violations. We do tend to see a spike in both years between the 5th
and 8th
week of the semester. This may correlate with the end of students’ first round of midterms.
