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.

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 some with faculty
status and up to 3 house officers), and 12- 20 student representatives from the senior
class. One of the faculty members on the committee 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 2/3 of voting faculty committee members are present. Faculty
must comprise a majority of voting members for a vote to take place, and 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.
