Washington State’s student conduct process drew scrutiny last fall after several Cougars football players were called up before the conduct board due mostly to three incidents that occurred over the summer, and the conduct board was accused of racial bias and improper procedures.
In an interview with The Seattle Times in December, WSU President Kirk Schulz said that a low percentage of all student conduct cases at WSU get referred to the conduct board, and of that number, WSU’s student-athletes make up a small percentage of all conduct board discipline cases.
Statistics obtained from WSU’s Office of Student Conduct appear to support Schulz’s claim.
