The first dissertation book club is in the... well... in the books. Participants from around the country discussed Dr. Erin Kaplan's research about student conduct and how our processes do or don't contribute to a sense of belonging, retention, trust and more. Kurt and Colette break down lessons learned, themes they heard and ideas for the future. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this first venture. We're looking forward to many more!

It's easy to toss blame around in considering Brown University Professor Roberto Serrano's discovery of mass cheating in his course "Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory." He had tried to be compassionate, after the tragic campus shooting that had devastated the entire community, so he offered a take-home exam, only to be faced with the betrayal of dozens of students. Was this a professor who should have done better, a failure of student conduct staff or students who lack a moral center? There are more questions than answers we should all be asking ourselves in this case, and we hope you're join the conversation and reflection.

Samantha Collette promotes learning, respect and care in student conduct - all while slaying in kitten heels and flowy skirts. Her disarming style and strategies, in both community standards and student affairs fashion, live in a wide-open closet we can all borrow from. Listening to Sam, you can't help but recognize that kindness and curiosity aren't just trends. They are staples we should put on every morning to spark joy.

Colette and Kurt are shameless fans of the show Traitors, but also curious about how the game demonstrates human dynamics we see in conduct work. From examining evidence, recognizing our biases, making decisions about responsibility, and responding to intense emotions, we've got some fun lessons to learn.

"Chris" was a college student. According to Chris's long post on Reddit, they were expelled from their institution and learned lots of lessons the hard way. Chris wrote their post to pass those lessons on to future accused students. This episode explores Chris's "Guide on Student Conduct," and their unfiltered perceptions of their campus's disciplinary processes. Kurt and Colette examine Chris's insights and assumptions, and consider how even factually inaccurate information might be important for administrators to carefully consider in order to improve transparency, learning and long-term outcomes.
