Minor Misconduct
Where information concerning a student would result in no more than a Reprimand for misconduct, the class deans, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, may issue such Reprimands without invoking the formal disciplinary process.
In cases where a student admits to a violation prior to receiving a letter from the UJAO, and the student would like to have the matter resolved, the student may choose to waive the usual allegation and hearing process. In such instances the student must sign a form to the effect that he or she agrees to the informal process, understands the range of possible sanctions, and agrees that a sanction imposed as a result of the informal process will be final.
Initiation of Allegations; Investigation
The UJAO shall be responsible for receiving all complaints and drafting whatever allegations may be issued. Any student, faculty member, or employee may file a complaint regarding an undergraduate with the UJAO. In addition, the UJAO may initiate an allegation on the basis of information coming to his or her attention from any source. The UJAO shall inform the appropriate dean(s) of complaints or other information concerning a student, and, in consultation with the appropriate dean(s), shall determine whether complaints or other information concerning a student shall result in formal disciplinary allegations. The UJAO shall coordinate the investigation and disposition of complaints and shall call upon other members of the College community for assistance as necessary.
