The chancellor is appointed each year by the President from among the stu- dent justices. K-Staters Settle Their Own Disputes Hearing disciplinary and traffic cases is the job of the Tribunal.

Infractions of K-State rules and other cases come to the Tribunal from the Dean of Students ' office or through the attorney general. Anyone can refer a case to the Tribunal through one of these sources. Tribunal decisions are sub- mitted to President McCain for his approval. The Tribunal decisions are administered by the Dean of Students ' office, and printed in The Collegian. The chancellor is Merlin Dennis. Byron Bird is attorney general.
