What are the grounds for filing an appeal of a disciplinary decision?

0

The criteria for appeal are outlined in the student disciplinary procedures document. In short, the criteria are: • The hearing was not conducted fairly in light of the charges against the respondent and that information was presented in conformity with prescribed university procedures. However, deviations from designated procedures will not be a basis for sustaining an appeal unless significant prejudice results. • The decision reached regarding the respondent was not based on substantial information. That is, whether there were facts established in the hearing that, if believed by the hearing body, were insufficient to establish that a violation of the Student Code occurred. • The sanction(s) imposed by the hearing body was/were not appropriate for the violation(s) for which the student was found responsible. • New information or other relevant facts clearly not available at the time of the original hearing because such facts are now available.
