Company Overview of State University of New York College at Cortland

State University of New York College at Cortland has named Michael Pitaro as acting director of the Student Conduct Office, formerly known as the Judicial Affairs Office, effective September 5. He has served since 2007 as the office's assistant director. The Student Conduct Office was renamed July 1 to more accurately reflect its responsibilities, which go beyond the handling of conduct violations. The Office is responsible for developing and administering a Code of Student Conduct that supports the College's values, goals and priorities and strives to create an environment that fosters personal integrity and promotes justice, equality and diversity on campus. Pitaro assumes the responsibilities of Nanette Pasquarello, who has taken a leave of absence from the College. In his new role, Pitaro directs the office's overall operation. He reviews all incident reports, supervises a three-person staff and trains relevant members of the campus community on the student judicial process. He will conduct disciplinary conference meetings and supervise the Suspension Review Panel and College Appeals Committee, in addition to serving on student conduct-related campus committees. Pitaro also will maintain all disciplinary files and the college student conduct database program.
