This webinar will review the key procedural requirements that must be followed, including but not limited to allowing parties to be accompanied to proceedings by an advisor of their choice; providing simultaneous, written notification of the results; and providing both parties with the same opportunities to have others present during institutional disciplinary proceedings. The webinar will further explore the Clery Act’s requirements to provide prompt, fair, and impartial proceedings as well as related issues with which student conduct practitioners should be familiar (e.g., the written statement of rights and options that must be provided to student and employee victims of sexual misconduct). By better understanding the Clery Act’s procedural and substantive requirements pertaining to sexual misconduct allegations, student conduct personnel will be better equipped to support institutional compliance efforts while simultaneously ensuring implementation of fair proceedings.
Offered in Partnership with the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA)
