Policy, Accountability, and Critical Events

Who We Are

The Policy, Accountability, and Critical Events (PACE) unit of Student Affairs includes coordination and support of student accountability processes, policy and compliance, and critical incident/event response.

PACE advances the University’s mission to develop responsible citizen leaders by:

Supporting the student-run Honor and Judiciary Committees in their ownership and management of student conduct adjudication;
Promoting a student culture of self-governance, honor, respect, safety, and freedom;
Facilitating student accountability practices that are fair, transparent, and educational;
Developing and managing University policies that support student, Divisional, and University priorities;
Creating and executing emergency response plans that promote student safety and the ongoing delivery of mission essential functions; and
Reviewing and advancing relevant government legislation to support the student experience.
