Rehearings and Appeals A. Rehearings 1. The rehearing will be by the Sexual Assault Hearing Board. Such reasons might include, without limitation, the discovery of new evidence or new witnesses whose testimony might have affected the deliberations of the Sexual Assault Hearing Board. Upon receipt of such request, the board may schedule a meeting with the student complained against and the complainant to discuss whether the reasons given provide sufficient grounds for granting a rehearing. If the Sexual Assault Hearing Board determines that a rehearing of the case should be granted, the chair will reschedule the rehearing within seven days or as soon thereafter as members of the Sexual Assault Hearing Board may be convened.
All rules of procedure apply to rehearings in the same manner as hearings.
B. Appeals 1. Any party may appeal a decision by submitting an appeal request in writing to the executive secretary. The appellant must submit reasons for requesting an appeal and the action requested. The summary or record of the original hearing must be presented in writing by the chair of the Sexual Assault Hearing Board, and the appeal will be limited to a review of the summary or record of proceedings of the prior hearing and statements of the parties or their representatives. No witnesses will be heard and no new information will be received.
