How are panelists chosen?
Student panelists are jointly appointed by the Undergraduate Senate and Graduate Student Council of the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) through the ASSU’s Nominations Commission (NomCom). Staff are appointed by the Provost, and faculty are appointed by the Faculty Senate. Panelists for individual hearings are scheduled based on their availability for that hearing date. Several bias check procedures are in place to ensure that “no Panel member is biased or has a conflict of interest in a case being considered” [III.C.1.e].
