The University of Nevada, Reno is seeking two Student Conduct Specialists. The Specialist serves as a primary adjudicator and investigator within the Office of Student Conduct. This role is responsible for the impartial administration of the Student Code of Conduct, requiring a high degree of investigative rigor, professional skepticism, and adherence to due process. The successful candidate will navigate complex, high-volume caseloads involving sensitive and graphic information, maintaining objective professional detachment while ensuring all actions align with university policy and state/federal regulatory requirements. This position acts as a critical administrative link between behavior, institutional policy, and legal compliance. 

Key responsibilities include:
Conduct & Adjudication

• Conduct Investigations: Handle reports of alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct, as directed by the Assistant Dean of Student Conduct.
• Adjudication: Investigate and adjudicate reported violations, applying campus sanctioning guidelines to determine appropriate interventions or referrals for students and student organizations found responsible.
• Facilitate Hearings: Serve as the Hearing Administrator for hearings before the Student Conduct Board and the Academic Integrity Board.
• Academic Integrity Intake & Case Oversight: Serve as the administrative point of contact for academic integrity complaints; initiate official case files, manage the progression of formal appeals and hearings, and ensure all procedural requirements are met throughout the appeal lifecycle.
• Legal Coordination: Work closely with the General Counsel's office to protect the rights of all parties involved in conduct cases and to mitigate the university's liability. 

Operational & Systems Management

• Incident Response: Manage high-volume digital and physical case files within the conduct database (e.g., Maxient) with meticulous accuracy and strict adherence to procedural timelines. 
• Investigative Documentation: Translate complex situations into professional correspondence that adheres to strict policy and legal standards.
• Crisis Responses & Referral: Manage immediate behavioral crises or high-conflict situations involving students during the conduct process; apply safety protocols and de-escalation techniques, and execute immediate referrals for all support-related needs (e.g., food insecurity, housing, mental health, or basic needs). 
• Operational Autonomy & Project Management: Independently manage multiple projects, shifting deadlines, and administrative workflows with minimal oversight and strict attention to detail.
• Systems Proficiency & Data Integrity: Expert-level use of conduct-specific databases (e.g., Maxient) and office technology to maintain accurate, audit-ready records and manage high-volume digital workflows. 
• Documentation Update: Maintain the university website and catalog by updating information related to the Student Code of Conduct as necessary. 

Institutional Policy & Compliance Coordination

• Inter-Departmental Liaison: Facilitate the standardized flow of information between the University Police Department - Northern Command, the Center for Civil Rights & Equal Access, and the Office of Residential Life Housing & Food Services to ensure all incident reports are documented, tracked, and resolved according to university policy. 
• Sanction Management & Tracking: Oversee the administration lifecycle of disciplinary sanctions by monitoring student compliance, tracking completion deadlines, and maintaining accurate records within the conduct database. This includes auditing sanction data to ensure institutional accountability and following up on non-compliance in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. 
• Policy Communication & Presentations: Develop and deliver presentations focused on the clear dissemination of institutional regulations, disciplinary procedures, and the consequences of non-compliance to ensure procedural transparency and mitigate university liability. 

This role involves the regular review and processing of case files, incident reports, interviews, and hearing materials that may contain sensitive or graphic information, including, but not limited to, sexual misconduct, violence, mental health crises, and substance abuse. Successful candidates must maintain objective professional detachment and strict confidentiality while handling these materials in accordance with university protocols. We invite applicants from professionals committed to the rigorous administration of policy and the maintenance of institutional standards.
