However, a student or group may waive any disciplinary hearing after consultation with the judicial officer, who will implement an appropriate sanction. Charges shall be reasonably specific as to the nature, time, and place of the alleged infraction. The student shall be informed of his or her rights at the time he or she is charged and in his or her preliminary meeting with the judicial officer. The accused shall be afforded one day to decide which kind of hearing he or she wishes to have. The accused shall be afforded at least seven days' notice of the hearing in writing.
All hearings are closed.
The accused shall have the right to be accompanied by an advisor who may confer with and assist the accused but may not speak for him or her as an advocate. The advisor may be any member of the University community who is not an attorney. Names of recommended advisors who are well informed about disciplinary procedures are available from the Office of the Dean of Students. Both the accused and the judicial officer have the right to request that the hearing be recorded. A recording of the hearing will be available in the event of an appeal, but remains the property of the University.
