Votes are counted by the chief justice who announces the result. If the accused is found not responsible for the charge, the case is dismissed. If the Judicial Board has reason, based on evidence, not to accept the responsible plea of the accused, the charge against the accused can be dismissed. If the Judicial Board accepts the responsible plea of the accused, if the accused is found responsible, or if the accused is found responsible of a lesser charge, records of prior formal or informal sanctions, if any, are presented. Appropriate disciplinary sanctions are discussed and a vote taken as to the sanction to be assigned.
All recommendations are subject to administrative review.
The right of appeal is announced to the accused. All are dismissed. Within one day of the hearing, the chief justice or board representative prepares and delivers a copy of the written judicial decision and rationale to the dean of student life. All aspects of the deliberation are retained in the confidence of the College Judicial Board and Office of Student Life. The decision is delivered to the accused subsequent to review by the dean of student life.
