The Student Disciplinary and Law Enforcement Policy Review Commission is charged with reviewing student disciplinary and law enforcement policies and practices at The University of Akron and making recommendations to the President and the Board of Trustees for any improvements that will enable the University in the future to continue to discharge its responsibilities and maintain compliance with all applicable laws.
