How are the sanctions decided?
The complainant and the responsible student/student organization will each have the opportunity to present an impact statement to the hearing officers before sanctions are determined. Upon conclusion of the presentation of this information, the hearing officers will deliberate privately to decide what sanctions are appropriate given the circumstances. Factors taken into consideration include the students credibility in presenting information; the students knowledge and forethought involved in committing the violations; the students prior student conduct history at UConn; whether there were multiple violations and their accumulative effect; and severity of the violation(s). The hearing officers will consider the students academic record as well before deciding on sanction(s).
