A preliminary hearing may be held. The student charged may accept the charge and the recommended sanction. A hearing will be held if the charge or sanction is contested. At any time before he hearing, the student charged or the complainant may request the Assistant Dean to hear the matter. The judicial body will summon witnesses and consider relevant documents and evidence.
All hearings are confidential unless all participants agree to a public hearing.
The judicial body determines, by majority vote, whether the student has committed the Code violation. If a violation is found, a sanction is recommended to the Assistant Dean. An appeal must be done so in writing within 10 days of notification to the charged student. University Court appeals go to the Assistant Dean.
