The student conduct administrator will forward a recommendation to impose a major sanction to the Major Administrative Units of the University (MAU) senior student services professional for review.
The Dean of Students or designee and the respondent will be given an opportunity to comment upon the findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the administrative review. Comments must be submitted in writing within seven days of the day the findings, conclusions, and recommendation are sent to the student, and in accordance with MAU rules and procedures.
The MAU senior student services professional or designee will review the record and render a decision within fourteen days of receipt of the recommendation, barring extenuating circumstances, and may:
- uphold a decision and/or recommended sanction;
- dismiss the case;
- alter or lessen the sanction;
- refer the matter back for further review;
- authorize a new administrative review; or
- take such other action as the senior student services professional or designee deems appropriate.
If the MAU senior student services professional has recommended a major sanction, the chancellor will review the record and, barring extenuating circumstances, render a decision within seven days of receipt of the recommendation. The chancellor may:
- uphold a decision and/or impose sanction;
- dismiss the case;
- alter or lessen the sanction;
- refer the matter back for further review;
- authorize a new administrative review; or
- take such other action as the chancellor deems appropriate.
Except in cases referred for further proceedings, the decision of the chancellor constitutes the university's final decision on the matter. Notification to the affected students must be made in writing and in accordance with Regents' Policy and University Regulation.
