cooperation of the victim. In such instances, the University will inform the victim of its obligation to address a community safety issue. XIV. Appeal Process This process applies to an appeal of a decision made by the SAHC. The complainant and/or respondent may submit an appeal of a SAHC decision. Appeals must be in writing and submitted to the Vice President of Student Development‘s office (or his or her designee) within five (5) business days of when the decision is communicated to the parties. An appeal must be in writing and consist of a statement outlining and supporting the specific grounds on which the student is appealing. An appeal must be based on one or more of the following grounds: 1. A process or procedural error was made that was significantly prejudicial to the outcome of the hearing as it affects the student appealing. 2. New information that was not available or known to the student appealing at the time of the hearing has arisen which, when considered, may materially alter the outcome. Note: Information that the appealing student chose not to present at the time of the hearing is not considered new information. If an appeal is received from either the complainant or the respondent, the Vice President of Student Development will notify, in writing, the non-appealing student within five (5) business days of receipt of the appeal that an appeal has been filed and the ground(s) upon which the appeal has been made. Within five (5) business days of such notification, the non-appealing student may submit a written statement to the Vice President of Student Development that he/she wishes to be considered. During the consideration of an appeal, the Vice President of Student Development will determine if sanctions imposed by the SAHC will be temporarily suspended or modified. The Vice President will consider the merits of an appeal on the basis of the information provided in the student‘s written statement, all the material or testimony previously presented, or a written summary of the previous proceedings. The Vice President will review appeals to determine whether the original decision is supported by substantial evidence. The Vice President will communicate his or her decision on the student‘s appeal in writing no later than seven (7) days following receipt of the appeal. The Vice President of Student Development‘s decision on the appeal is final and no other office will accept or review appeals. We want to acknowledge The University of Chicago and Westmont College for allowing their institutions’ sexual assault policy to be primary sources of reference in creating our revised policy.
