Can a student be prosecuted criminally AND also be reported to SJA for the same act?
Yes, if the act is both a violation of student conduct standards and the criminal law. Students have special responsibilities as part of their relationship to the University that are different from their general obligations as citizens to obey the law. The same act may be a violation both of the student’s responsibilities to the University and his/her legal obligations, resulting in more than one kind of consequence for that act.
