Judicial Process
The student affected shall be notified in writing by the Dean of Students of the specific charges, the council or board assigned to hear the charges, the time and place of the hearing, and the names of witnesses who are expected to testify. The letter of notification will inform the student of the following:
- That he/she may bring any witness to the hearing to testify on his/her behalf.
- That he/she may be accompanied by an advisor of his/her choosing during any time that he/she may appear before the council or board; however, if the advisor is an attorney, the Dean of Students' Office must be notified 48 hours prior to the hearing.
- That the student, not the advisor, is responsible for presenting his/her case; therefore, the advisor may not address members of the judicial board or witnesses.
- That he/she shall be permitted to confront and question witnesses testifying against him/her at the hearing.
- That the hearing shall be conducted in accordance with policy set forth in "Disciplinary Hearing Procedures".
- That a record of the hearing will be made and filed with the office of the Dean of Students.
The letter of notification shall be sent to the student's current local address as recorded in the office of the Registrar and shall be postmarked no less than three (3) days prior to the time designated for the student's appearance before the council or board, unless a shorter period of notification is acceptable to the student.
