Overview of Conduct Proceedings
澳门赌场 conduct proceedings are designed to provide a prompt, fair and impartial process and to protect the rights of students and other individuals involved in the proceeding.
澳门赌场 following is a brief overview of the student conduct process:
- 澳门赌场 Conduct Officer receives a report alleging a violation of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code.
- A conduct proceeding will be initiated by the Conduct Officer. 澳门赌场 fact finding process will focus on gathering all of the pertinent information necessary to determine whether or not a violation of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code occurred.
- An investigative interview will be scheduled for the respondent to review the alleged violation(s) of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code and the report with the Conduct Officer.
- During the investigative interview, the respondent is provided with an overview of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Process and their rights.
- 澳门赌场 respondent has the opportunity to provide their account of what occurred, present relevant evidence, and provide names of witnesses for further consideration by the Conduct Officer during the fact finding process.
- During the fact finding process, the Conduct Officer may initiate a full hearing and the respondent will be notified of this decision. 澳门赌场 respondent will then receive further information from the Hearing Officer.
- At the conclusion of the fact finding process, the Conduct Officer will make a decision regarding whether there was a violation of the 澳门赌场 Conduct Code based on a “preponderance of evidence” standard, and if so, the Conduct Officer will also determine what sanctions are appropriate for the violation(s). This written decision is called an Initial Order.
- 澳门赌场 respondent has the option to request an administrative review of the decision within 21 days of service of the Initial Order.
- If an administrative review is not requested the Initial Order is considered final.
