Process of Discovery
The Assistant Director of Student Engagement will determine if an investigation into a complaint is warranted . If an investigation is initiated , a meeting will be arranged with representatives of the student organization named in the complaint and the Assistant Director of Student Engagement . The purpose of this meeting will be to review the complaint with the student organization representatives and to allow the organization representatives an opportunity to respond . The Assistant Director of Student Engagement may also arrange meetings with potential witnesses . If representatives from the student organizations do not respond to the offer of a meeting with the Assistant Director of Student Engagement within a specific period , a determination will be made concerning any responsibility for policy violation using the information available .
Should a determination be reached that misconduct did not occur or that no disciplinary sanction is warranted under the circumstances , the matter will be considered resolved without further action .
If a determination is made based on available information and discussion with student organization members that misconduct does occur , the Assistant Director of Student Engagement will select one or more disciplinary sanctions listed in this document . The disciplinary sanctions will be selected based on the criteria of what is most appropriate for the circumstances surrounding the case . The Assistant Director of Student Engagement will justify the selection of certain sanctions in a written report .
The written report from the Assistant Director of Student Engagement will be e-mailed to the student organization ’ s president . A copy of the report will also be e-mailed to the primary advisor of the student organization . The report will include a description of the misconduct , the specified sanction , and a justification for why a specific sanction was selected .
