The committee will consist of members of the Health Sciences Committee who are not involved in the case. Should the chair of the Health Sciences Committee be the member of the faculty alleged to have made the improper academic evaluation, the associate dean will choose the three members of the peer review body from the members of the Health Sciences Committee. The peer review body will conduct a hearing at which the student and the faculty member will have an opportunity to state, in each other's presence, their views on the academic evaluation given to the student. If the peer review body finds in favor of the student and upholds the complaint, yet the faculty member refuses to alter the academic evaluation at issue, the Health Sciences Committee will meet with the peer review body to review the case. The Committee will then advise the associate dean on what steps should be taken to resolve the issue.
Final action rests with the associate dean.
