Academic Standards Committee Description
The charge to the Academic Standards Committee is setting standards of achievement for students in the School of Medicine. The committee establishes criteria for promotion from one phase (or year) of medical education to the next and approves guidelines for the Preclerkship and Clerkship Student Promotions Committees regarding the appropriate remediation for students in academic difficulty. It also approves grading policies as recommended by the Preclerkship Course Director Committee and Clerkship Director Committee to ensure that policies and procedures for assigning grades are consistent with the guidelines for student advancement. It presents its recommendations to the Curriculum Steering Committee for final approval.
This committee is comprised of 20-25 faculty members from basic science and clinical departments and 2 student representatives each from the 3rd and 4th year classes. The Associate Deans for Undergraduate Medical Education, Student Affairs, Admissions, and Community Engagement and Health Programs serve in an ex-officio, non-voting capacity.
A quorum is met when greater than 50% of voting faculty members are present. A vote requires 2/3 or more of the present voting faculty members in favor to pass.

Admissions Committee Description
The charge to the Admissions Committee is to recruit and admit applicants from every geographic, economic, social, and cultural dimension of Louisiana or other states within the country to be trained to provide medical care for the residents of our state and regional communities. The committee has the final authority to approve admissions policies and make decisions on admission to the school.
This committee is comprised of 25-35 faculty members from basic science and clinical departments (including emeritus faculty), 5-10 alumni (including up to 3 house officers), and 12- 20 student representatives from the senior class. The Assistant Dean for Admissions serves as Chair in a voting capacity. The Associate Deans for Admissions and Community Engagement and Health Programs serve in an ex-officio, non-voting capacity. The committee’s decisions must be free of bias and potential conflicts of interest, therefore, prior to participation and yearly thereafter, each committee member is oriented to the admissions process, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, bias, and the school’s mission. Committee members sign annual attestation forms acknowledging recusal from discussions and voting when conflicts of interest are present.
A quorum is met when 18 voting non-student members of the committee are present. A vote requires greater than 50% in favor to pass.

Council on Student Professional Conduct Description
The charge to the Council on Student Professional Conduct (CSPC) is the review of an allegation of unethical professional conduct by a student. The CSPC is responsible for investigating and hearing complaints of academic misconduct related to expected course-related academic tasks and behavior or to the professional conduct standards of the school. Concerns of possible Title IX violations, power-based violence, non-academic misconduct, or discrimination, bias or legal infractions are to be referred to the appropriate health sciences center official or committee and are not the purview of the CSPC.
The council is comprised of no fewer than 16 faculty members from basic science and clinical departments and 4 peer-elected student representatives from each class. One faculty member and one student member serve as Council Co-Chairs. Council members are required to recuse themselves from any investigation or hearing with which they may have a conflict of interest. Students from the same class as the student under consideration are automatically recused. An appointee from the Chancellor’s Office serves in an ex-officio, non-voting member of the council.

Student Promotions Committee Description - Clerkship (L3/L4)
The charge to the Clerkship Student Promotions Committee is to consider academic problems of students enrolled in the clerkship phase of the curriculum using the guidelines established by the Academic Standards Committee. The committee discusses individual students in academic difficulty at length, and hears the perspective of clerkship directors, general faculty, and the students, as dictated by specific circumstances. The committee has the authority to make decisions regarding student promotion.
The committee is comprised of directors from all clerkships and up to 6 representatives of the general faculty. Representatives of the Dean’s Office serve in an ex-officio, non-voting capacity. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs provides logistical support, the list of students under consideration, and the records of each student to be discussed for all promotions committee meetings. The chair is selected by the Senior Associate Dean for Faculty and Institutional Affairs. If a member of a student promotions committee is responsible for assigning a student a failing grade during the year under review, or has provided direct medical care to a student, or has any other situation that could cause a conflict of interest, then those members must recuse themselves from voting on decisions (e.g., promotion, remediation, probation, dismissal). Such members are not prohibited from providing relevant academic information.
A quorum is met when 50% or more of voting faculty members are present. A vote requires 2/3 or more of the present voting faculty members in favor to pass.
