Pending Sanctions During Request and Review

All sanctions imposed by the original hearing body will be in effect during the appeal request and review. A request may be made to the Dean of Students for special consideration, due to exigent circumstances, but the presumptive stance of the University is that the sanctions will stand. Graduation, study abroad, internships, co-curricular activities, and athletic team involvement do not, in and of themselves, constitute exigent circumstances. Hence, students may not be able to participate in those activities during their appeal request and review. In cases whereby, the appeal review results in a reinstatement to the University or of a return of previously lost privileges, all reasonable attempts will be made to restore the students to their prior status and assist with correspondence for missed coursework, while acknowledging that some opportunities may be lost in the short term. The University shall maintain safety as the first priority.
