Student Conduct Reports for Auburn University Greek Life will now be public record and published semesterly.
"In an effort to provide transparency for potential members and parents and align with our SEC and national peers, we felt it important to publish the information," said Haven Hart, assistant vice president for student development.
Hart said Greek Life directors at SEC institutions have discussed the idea for some time, and the hope is that other student organizations will follow suit in time.
“The Greek Conduct Report is something that will aid in holding our groups accountable," said Gavin McGettigan, president of the Interfraternity Council. "Furthermore, it will give our potential new members and their parents a more accurate idea of the current status of Auburn Greek chapters. The organizations will hopefully see this as a way to highlight their good behavior in the semesters to come.”
Hart said the reports will be published by the first week of classes following the next semester. The report for spring 2018 is not currently published because the Interfraternity Council is in the process of hearing an appeal from a spring semester case.
The report will be published after that case closes.
Hart said in addition to publishing the conduct reports, Greek Life will publish a summary of successes and accomplishments.
Greek Life director Ryan Powell said he believes transparency is important to students.
"I think that it is important to share the stories about what our students are doing well and what we aren't doing so well," Powell said.
