- The accused gives his or her closing statement. - All but the Committee are excused and deliberation begins. The Designated Hearing Officer leading the hearing will determine time restrictions and questions of relevance, enforce rules prohibiting advisors from actively engaging in the discussion, and other procedural matters as required. The Administrative Committee on Sexual Misconduct has the authority to levy a sanction or sanctions against a student who has violated the sexual misconduct policy. Sanctions levied against a student who has violated the Sexual Misconduct Policy will vary according to the severity of the action and can include, among other forms of sanction: disciplinary dismissal from the University interim suspension indefinite suspension expulsion from residence halls The outcome of the hearing will be shared simultaneously, in writing, with both the accused and the complainant within one calendar day of the hearing. Both the accused and the complainant have the right of appeal. Appeals must be submitted, in writing, to the Dean of Students within five academic days of notification. Any type of retaliation against the alleged victim, the accused (other than discipline that may be imposed by this policy), witnesses, members and others associated with the process will be considered a conduct violation. Withdrawal If a student accused of sexual misconduct withdraws from the University prior to a pending adjudication, the sexual misconduct hearing will still proceed. Appeals Procedure for Sexual Misconduct Cases In cases that are adjudicated using the Sexual Misconduct Process both the alleged victim and the accused have an opportunity to request an appeal with the University’s Judicial Council. The student must request a review of his/her case within five academic days of written notification to the student of the Administrative Committee on Sexual Misconduct’s decision (appeal request form). The Dean of Students and another member of the University Judicial Council (UJC) will review the student’s reason(s) to request an appeal along with any relevant documentation involving the original decision. An appeal will be granted only if there appears to be: new evidence of significance relative to the original outcome; procedural error in the original hearing that was detrimental to the outcome; or an inappropriate sanction relative to the policy violation. The student requesting the appeal will be notified within five academic days of the request of a decision to grant an appeal. If an appeal is granted, the UJC must give written notice to all parties concerned of the nature of the appeal and the date and time of the appeals session. All appeals sessions will be held within ten academic days of the approval to grant an appeal. (Appeal sessions will be closed for UJC members only.) The UJC will ask the student initiating the appeal to provide a detailed, written statement, describing his/her position relative to the case. The Administrative Committee on Sexual 141
Misconduct(adjudicating body who heard the original case) will provide rationale for making the initial decision. Upon request from the UJC, the Administrative Committee on Sexual Misconduct will provide any documentation relevant to the case. The student initiating the appeal will have the opportunity to review the Administrative Committee on Sexual Misconduct’s rationale, along with supporting documentation, prior to submitting his/her statement. The UJC will not hold any regular or special sessions without at least three members present of which there shall be at least one member of the faculty, Office of Student Affairs staff. The Council uses a preponderance of the evidence standard in making a decision relative to appeals. Notification of the decision of the UJC is sent to , the alleged victim, and the accused simultaneously. If an appeal is successful the UJC will require a re-hearing of the case by the original adjudicating body, or a new hearing by a new adjudicating body, and that outcome is final. All sessions of the UJC, in its discretion, are closed. The Council has the power to govern its own internal proceedings and establish its procedures.
