VIII. Decisions

A Conduct Body may come to one of the following decisions:

RESPONSIBLE: The student violated university policy.

NOT RESPONSIBLE: The student did not violate university policy.

INCONCLUSIVE: There is not sufficient information to conclude the student was involved in the reported misconduct, nor is there enough information to dismiss the student from involvement.  If additional information becomes available while the student is enrolled at PLU, then the case may be referred for reconsideration to a Conduct Body.  The Student Conduct Coordinator determines whether the original Conduct Body is reconvened, or if the case is referred to a new Conduct Body.

Conduct Body decisions generally are made through a review of Incident Reports, and individual statements (written and oral).  A student’s previous conduct history also may be reviewed, where in PLU’s discretion it is deemed relevant.
