What if someone makes a false allegation against a student?
Written allegations are evaluated by the Deans prior to contacting the accused student. Evaluation includes determining the credibility of the complainant. In addition, the evidence is evaluated to determine its value and relevance to the case. It is exceedingly rare for the Office to receive false or vindictive allegations of misconduct. In addition, it is a violation of University policy to submit false information to the Office in the hopes of getting another student in trouble.
