on Academic Misconduct 12.0
Record and Nature of the Proceedings A record consisting of written notes, tape recordings, or other method selected by the hearing panel will be made of all hearings. This record will be available to the student found in violation, during the appeal period, and can be copied at his or her expense. A written notice of the decision and information regarding appeal procedures will be sent to the accused student. In general, materials relating to a disciplinary action are confidential and may be made available by the Coordinator of the Committee only to those who have a valid need to know, e.g., disciplinary officers, the Senior Vice President and Provost, and other University officials who have a demonstrated need to know. 13.0 Records of the Committee on Academic Misconduct Records are considered confidential. Copies of sanction letters are sent only to those University officers with a valid need to know, such as the College Secretary, who is in charge of student records, and the Office of Judicial Affairs. The Office of the University Registrar is informed when the sanction imposed is suspension or dismissal. 14.0 Confidentiality and Release of Records The Federal and State governments have both adopted legal requirements designed to protect the privacy of student educational records maintained by various University offices and to provide for the student's right to access the educational record. Generally, any information from the records may not be released to individuals outside the University community by the custodian of the records without permission of the individual whose record it is, and any individual has the right to see his or her own educational records. |
