Safety and Security
Committee on Crime Prevention and Security on Campus and in the Neighborhood
The committee usually meets twice a year and advises the President of the University on a wide range of matters that may impact the safety of members of the University community or their property. A minimum of four students serve on the committee, and all are appointed by Student Government.

Independent Review Committee for the UCPD
The Independent Review Committee for the UCPD evaluates complaints brought against University Police, reviews the actions of University Police in handling such complaints, and, when necessary, makes recommendations to the President regarding the department's policies and procedures. Administrators, two College students and one graduate student appointed by Student Government, comprise the committee, which meets as necessary.

All-University Disciplinary Committee
The intent of student disciplinary procedures is to ensure a fair and orderly hearing on questions of possible student misconduct. A University Disciplinary Committee is empowered to conduct hearings on charges of violation by students of statutory provisions and Council legislation prohibiting disruptive acts. The last occasion for the convening of a University Disciplinary Committee came in 1974. Faculty and student panels are regularly appointed, however, in order that the Committee can be promptly convened should another occasion arise. Five undergraduate students nominated by SG and ten graduate students nominated by the divisional and school Deans of Students are annually selected to serve as potential members of the All-University Disciplinary Committee, which meets as necessary.
