Hearing Panel
Hearings are the University’s formal process for resolving alleged violations. Cases are resolved through hearings if the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) and the student do not reach a mutually acceptable agreement in an informal resolution or if the student chooses this option anytime during the conduct process. Students have the right to present their case before a disciplinary hearing panel, comprised of members of the Committee on Student Conduct. The chair of the Committee on Student Conduct will conduct a pre-hearing conference with the charged student and OSC to exchange witness lists, copies of evidence to be presented and a written brief of the case. During the hearing, both the student and OSC will have an opportunity to present witnesses to the hearing panel for questioning and cross-examination. After the hearing is held and the panel has time to deliberate, the panel will recommend to the Dean of Students specific sanctions to be imposed if it finds the student in violation of the Code. If the Dean of Students finds the student responsible, s/he will determine the sanction to be imposed.
