The Faculty Role
in the Conduct Process |
|
| |
Once an incident is reported,
the Office of Student Conduct
will initiate the conduct
process. The process can
be found
here.
Faculty may be contacted by the
office for further clarification
or to serve as a witness in a
formal hearing. In some
cases, faculty are notified of
the outcome. However, due
to FERPA, some cases do not
allow for this notification.
The Office of Student Conduct
will endeavor to update faculty
members as much as possible
within this restriction. |
