How is an individual found responsible for a violation within the conduct process?
Generally, due process provides that a student accused of violating the Community Conduct Code will be given written notice of the charges, time to examine the evidence and formulate a response, and an opportunity to explain his/her version of events to an unbiased decision-maker. This decision-maker, generally a residence director, assistant residence director, the coordinator of Student Conduct, or assistant director of Housing and Residence Life, will weigh the evidence and the oral arguments on both sides and decide if the student is responsible for violating University policy; and if so, will determine the appropriate sanction. The outcome of the adjudication of the complaint will be communicated to the student in writing.
