What happens during a formal hearing?
A small panel of the Campus Judicial Board (usually, one or two students and one or two faculty members) meets with the reporting party and the accused student to hear the evidence and reach a decision regarding the facts of what happened. The reporting party starts by telling the Board what caused them to suspect misconduct and why they reported the student, and explaining any documents or other evidence supporting the report of misconduct. The Board may question the reporting party, and then the accused student may ask questions. If the reporting party has any additional witnesses, each will tell what he/she knows and then respond to questions from the Board, the reporting party, and the accused student. The accused student then tells what happened from his/her own perspective, and may present any supporting documents or witnesses. The CJB and the reporting party may question the accused student and his/her witnesses. When all evidence has been received, the CJB concludes the hearing
