Dean's Hearing

The Associate Vice President of Campus Life/Dean for Student Life may refer offenses that do not involve possible separation from the University to the deans for a hearing. In general, matters involving undergraduates will be heard by deans from Campus Life; matters involving graduate students will be heard by deans from the Graduate School; matters involving medical students will be heard by deans from the Medical School.

Procedures. The hearing procedures will be informal, but remain consistent with the basic rights afforded to charged students (see "Student Rights and Responsibilities"). The dean provides the student(s) with written notice of the charge(s), a summary of the evidence, and the time and place of the meeting. At the meeting, the student(s) has an opportunity to be heard, and the dean decides if the respondent is responsible for violation(s) of the Standards of Student Conduct.

Sanctions. If the respondent is found responsible, the dean will impose a sanction up to deferred suspension for three semesters (see "Sanctions"). The dean may also impose accompanying terms (see "Accompanying Terms for Sanctions"). Within five (5) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the dean will notify the respondent(s) in writing of the decisions in the case.
