What if the student doesn’t want to accept the informal resolution?
You should know that if you accept an informal resolution, it is an admission of guilt. Your other option is to request a formal adjudication. The investigating committee can also go directly to a formal adjudication without offering an informal resolution first. Keep in mind that if you turn down an informal resolution, and then at the formal adjudication you are found guilty, it is very possible that you will receive a more severe sanction than what was offered as an informal resolution.
