It is the responsibility of hearing officers and judicial boards comprised of a single hearing officer, students, faculty and/or staff to address conduct related matters.
The same University official may fully adjudicate a judicial case
including but not limited to the following: document an incident or
receive incident reports/police reports, review the reports, conduct
interviews with the accused student and witnesses, send notice to a
student regarding charges, serve as the hearing officer and impose sanctions.
Violations (major and minor) that take place on or off campus may be adjudicated by the Coordinator of Judicial Programs, a judicial board, or other designated hearing officer. Reviews of these cases are heard by a designated hearing officer, the Dean of Students or the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Violations that take place within Residential Life may be adjudicated by a Residence Director, Coordinator of Judicial Programs or other appropriate hearing
officer or judicial board. Review of those decisions may be heard by the Coordinator of Judicial Programs or other appropriate hearing officer or
judicial board.
Hearing venues are determined by the presiding judicial administrator. Judicial
boards and hearing officers may be utilized depending on case circumstances, caseload, or judgment of the appropriate administrator. All
appeal reviews, if granted, will be in accordance with the procedures noted in the Appeal Process.
