Respondent’s Rights<\/h3>\n

    The Hearing Panel<\/h3>\n

    A group of students, faculty and staff assist the Office of Student Conduct in hearing cases of appealed sanctions. The board is comprised of many people that serve two roles: justices and advocates.<\/p>\n \n \n \n \n

    \n Justices\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/path>\n <\/svg>\n <\/span>\n <\/button>\n\n \n
    \n Justices hear cases involving alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. A Hearing Panel consists of student and faculty justices, as well as a Hearing Officer who presides over the Hearing Panel but does not have a vote in the hearing outcome.<\/p>\n

    For information on how to become a student, faculty or staff justice please see the\u00a0Becoming a Justice<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n

    Professional staff members are available to assist advocates in preparing cases.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
