Student Handbook Code of Conduct Judicial Panel Hearing

Judicial Panel Hearing

Cases referred to the judicial panel for a hearing usually involve allegations for which a finding of "responsible" could result in suspension or expulsion from the university. These are noted with an asterisk next to the numbered code under prohibited conduct. This also may include incidents which occur while a student is on disciplinary university probation. The administrative hearing carries the same weight as a judicial panel hearing.

Judicial Board

1. The Judicial Board normally will be composed of ten (10) members including: six (6) full-time students recommended by the students and appointed by the Student Government; two (2) MSUAASF members and two (2) Council 6 members.
2. Judicial panels will be drawn from the university-wide judicial board and normally will be composed of five (5) members: three (3) students, one (1) MSUAASF member and one (1) Council 6 member. One member will be designated the chairperson by the university hearing officer.
3. The Associate Vice President for Student Life and Development will be present at judicial panel hearings as a non-voting observer and will, if necessary, answer procedural questions.
4. If the accused student is represented by an attorney at the hearing, the university reserves the right to have an attorney present at the hearing.
