A1. Office of Student Rights and Advocacy (OSRA)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office of Student Rights and Advocacy (OSRA) offers accessible
information about students’ rights and the student conduct system. We
provide advisers to help you defend yourself and move through the
conduct process. We are also available to support students who seek to
initiate proceedings through the Board of Student Conduct. As advisers,
we provide assistance during hearings, and we may also be present at
conduct meetings in order to better serve you. Our work is strictly
confidential, and thus we serve as a safe space for you to freely
discuss your case. We handle cases relating to academic integrity,
sexual misconduct, speech and public congregation, privacy rights,
property disputes, and anything else that might concern the student
conduct system.
Send us an email at studentrights@brandeis.edu.
