Complaints/Reports of Information

  1. Filing a Complaint. Members of the University community may file written complaints and reports of information that allege violations of the Standards of Student Conduct with the Office of Student Life by filling out a Campus Complaint Form with an attached statement. When a complaint or report of information is filed more than sixty (60) days after the alleged incident, the Dean for Campus Life will determine whether circumstances support a late filing of charges. The complaint needs to include, in writing, the name(s) of all witnesses or others who may have information concerning the alleged offense(s). Matters that may result in a sanction of suspension or above will follow the following process.
    1. The respondent(s) will receive notice of the receipt of a complaint/information regarding the allegations and the corresponding offenses, and that an investigation is underway.
    2. The complaining witness and the respondent will have the responsibility to provide the names of witnesses.
    3. The respondent will have the right to prepare a written statement and to have an advisor.
    4. A case administrator will forward relevant case materials to the Dean for Campus Life who will determine whether or not there is a reasonable basis to file disciplinary charges. If it is determined that charges will be filed, the dean will refer the matter to the appropriate hearing venue.
  2. Non-disciplinary Referrals. If it is determined that disciplinary action is not necessary, the matter may be referred to mediation, counseling, alcohol/drug education, etc.
  3. Withdrawing Charges. The Dean for Campus Life has the authority to withdraw charges once they have been made.
