charge a student with an alleged conduct code violation. The individual submitting the incident report is the individual bringing the charge against the student allegedly violating the policy. If a decision is made to charge a student with an alleged violation, the College will select one of the following hearing body/procedures deemed most appropriate: i) Assign the case to a member of the residence life or safety staff for disposition. (General hall infractions, conduct code violations related to residential living or incident occurring during campus breaks and holidays).
ii) Provide the accused student the opportunity to dispose of the charges informally or agree on sanctions by mutual consent without the initiation of a formal hearing. (Prior to formal hearings when appropriate).
iii) Initiate a formal hearing and make a decision concerning the case.
iv) Refer the case to the Peer Judicial Board. v) Special circumstances. vi) In cases of academic dishonesty, please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy.
c) Procedural Standards in Disciplinary Proceedings The student(s) accused will be informed of the violation(s) or charge(s), name of the designated hearing officer (unless the notification specifies "no formal action taken at this time"). If the designated hearing officer is the Peer Judicial Board, the student has 24 hours to contact the Student Leadership Office to confirm the hearing.
i) The accused student must respond within 24 hours after notification of any campus conduct code violation. Failure to respond to notification will be considered a failure to comply.
ii) Student(s) will meet with/contact a single hearing officer or the Peer Judicial Board. In some cases students may be requested to submit a written explanation of the report and their alleged involvement to the hearing officer. Designated hearing officers include the Vice President for Student Leadership and resident directors. Student Leadership staff reviews reports pertaining to incidents, safety, security, and assigns an appropriate hearing officer. The Peer Judicial Board will also hear cases referred by the DRL (see the following section on the Peer Judicial Board).
iii) During the investigation, students are required to answer honestly all questions asked. This is not a criminal proceeding. Students may not withhold information during an investigation or withhold names of other individuals involved. Failure to answer all questions honestly and accurately during a college investigation is a conduct code violation.
iv) The Chief Judicial officer has final disposition in all disciplinary matters subject only to the appeals process.
