If the offender is a student, he or she will be
subject to the due processes of University
policy for their respective home campus
regardless of any civil or criminal action that
may be pending as a result of the violation. All
disciplinary hearings will adhere to the
procedures for notification, evidence,
counsel/advisors, burden of responsibility,
records, findings, and appeals as outlined in
the home campus Student Handbook. University
sanctions may include but are not limited to
probation, mandatory participation in specific
awareness or rehabilitation programs and/or
suspension or expulsion from the University. In
all hearings, both the accused and accuser will
have the same opportunities to present their
version of the facts. They can also present
other evidence in support of the case including
witnesses, and they may question evidence
presented. When accused of sexual assault on
campus both the victim and the accused will be
informed of the outcome of any disciplinary
proceedings. Again, the outcome of a hearing is
the University's final determination with
respect to the alleged sex offense and sanctions
that are imposed and does not address other
civil or criminal actions against the accused.
For complete information involving disciplinary
procedures and sanctions, refer to the
SU Student Handbook. |
