XVIII Hearing Decision-maker

The Decision-maker will not have had any previous involvement with the Formal Complaint. The Senior Director of Student Experience and Title IX Coordinator may elect to have an alternate from the Resolution Process Pool sit in throughout the hearing process if a substitute is needed for any reason.

 

Those who have served as Investigators will be witnesses in the hearing and therefore may not serve as Decision-makers. Those who are serving as Advisors for any party may not serve as Decision-makers in that matter.

 

The Title IX Coordinator may not serve as a Decision-maker in the matter but may serve as an administrative facilitator of the hearing if their previous role(s) in the matter do not create a conflict of interest. Otherwise, a designee may fulfill the facilitator role. The hearing will convene at a time and venue determined by the Senior Director of Student Experience and Title IX Coordinator.
