What happens at a hearing by the Honor Council?
After submitting a report to the Honor Council you will receive a notice of the time, location, and date of the hearing. Both you and the professor will be asked to appear before the hearing board to describe the incident and present evidence. The professor can recommend a sanction; however, the hearing board is in no way obligated to impose the faculty member’s recommended sanction. Hearing boards can impose sanctions different from the sanction recommended by the faculty member. Hearings are not trials, and no attorneys can take part or be present. The Honor Council’s Faculty Advisor will meet with you to walk you through the procedures for hearings.
