问责制和恢复过程

Our office utilizes multiple pathways within the accountability process, which typically begins when a report is submitted. Depending on the type and severity, students may have several pathways to resolve their case.

问责决议会议

参与报告的学生与SARP的工作人员会面。 This initial meeting is called an 问责决议会议. Before the ARM, students will receive a letter via email notifying them of the allegations and listing which policy(s) they are alleged to have violated. This letter includes other pertinent information regarding the meeting, including but not limited to the meeting date and time, instructions for joining the meeting, as well as what to expect during the ARM.

大学听力

When a student disagrees that their action(s) violated the policy(s) they are alleged to have violated, and the possible outcome, if they are found responsible, would be suspension, expulsion or removal from on-campus housing, the case is resolved through a 大学听力.

恢复性问责程序

The 恢复性问责程序 provides students and student groups with a pathway to resolving interpersonal conflict and empowers all parties to participate fully in the accountability process.

When students agree to participate in the 恢复性问责程序, they engage in dialogue about the harm that has been caused, the impact of that harm and what needs to be done to repair the harm. SARP staff determine when the Restorative Accountability Process is appropriate for a given case.

恢复决议

Individuals and/or groups seeking support in community building or conflict resolution can work with SARP to request a 恢复决议. Although most incidents where the 恢复性问责程序 may be utilized may be reported to SARP as possible policy violations, SARP can facilitate a circle process that is separate from the accountability process.

负责任老虎协议

The 负责任老虎协议(RTP) is the University's amnesty program. 学生 who are assessed by medical professionals as a result of over consumption of alcohol and/or cannabis will not face formal disciplinary action by the University provided that:

  • 事件中没有其他违反政策的行为。
  • 学生在整个过程中都很合作。
  • 这种行为的模式不会再发生。

上诉程序

If a student or student organization is found responsible for a policy violation, they 可以对纪律处分的结果提出上诉吗. Appeals are completed in writing and are reviewed by groups separate from the Hearing Officer or Hearing Board who made the decision.
