| (1) | The faculty appeal board may conduct
administrative review when exceptional circumstances do not exist or the student

administrative review is appropriate, the chair shall notify all parties of that
decision. The notice to the parties shall include a statement of: |
|
| (a) | The allegations of misconduct against the
student; |
|
| (b) | The sanctions that were recommended by the initiating
officer or the university disciplinary committee, if any; |
|
| (c) | A date by which any voluntarily submitted
written briefs or statements must be submitted. |
|
| (2) | When the faculty appeal board conducts
an administrative review, the board may base its review on: |
|
| (a) | All documents and any recordings considered by the
initiating officer or the university disciplinary committee; or |
|
| (b) | Oral and/or written argument of both parties;
or |
|
| (c) | Additional evidence. |
|
| (3) | At the conclusion of its review, the faculty appeal board shall enter an order. An initial order may be appealed and a final order may not be appealed, except that final orders of dismissal shall be reviewed by the president or the president's delegate. The student shall be provided with a written order which shall include a written statement of the board's decision within ten days of the conclusion of the review and information on rights of appeal, if any. In a case involving an alleged sexual offense, both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of the review. In a case where the student is a minor, the board's decision may be reported to the student's parents or legal guardian at the discretion of the chair of the faculty appeal board. | |
