Can parents or guardians be present at the hearing?
No. Parents are not permitted to attend a hearing. Your son or daughter is entitled to advisory assistance of their choosing as long as that person is a faculty member, staff member, or student at Lehigh, and not an attorney except in special circumstances. The advisor’s role is to assist, support, and advise students at any stage of the conduct process. The advisor may not, however, ask or answer questions for students or make summation statements on their behalf. This person is not a participant in the hearing except in speaking with the accused student.
