Incidents reported during the last 15 working days of each semester, as well as January and Summer terms, conduct bodies may consider Incident Reports within 24-hours of the meeting notice. Incident reports not reviewed in meetings before the end of the term will be reviewed (without the presence of the student(s) named on the report) by a Review Officer or a panel of Student Life representatives advised by the Associate Director for Student Conduct. Notification of decisions and sanctions will be sent by mail and/or email.
The standard provision for Conduct Body reviews are followed as much as reasonably possible with the available personnel. The Associate Director for Student Conduct may ask board members and Review Officers appointed or elected for the prior academic term to continue. The Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students shall appoint any additional student members required and the university Provost shall appoint any faculty members required.
At her/his discretion, the Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students may immediately review emergencies or unusual circumstances in which student conduct interferes seriously with the rights of others, with the normal ongoing work and activities of the university, or poses possible danger to the health, safety, and welfare of that individual or other people or property. In such special situations, the Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students may issue a temporary decision and temporary sanction to stabilize the situation, and prevent further disruption or harm. This may involve steps up to and including, the immediate removal of students from the campus and community, without limitation.
As soon as is practical thereafter, the allegations against the student will be heard by the URB or a team of Review Officers at a special meeting called by the Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students. At such a Review Meeting, the student will be accorded the rights set out in Section IV of these procedures, except that the timelines set out in Section IV – Subsection A and for the entire Student Conduct process may vary.
