Membership Representation on the Standards Hearing Committee & Others Involved in Formal Hearing Procedures

The membership of the Standards Hearing Committee will be comprised of 1) three full-time students, including the Student Trustee when available, 2) three college officials consisting of any combination of faculty, student services administrative staff, or other administrative staff depending upon the issue, and 3) one College Cabinet member. The College Cabinet representative will serve as the lead administrator for the area where the issue originated, when appropriate, and will also act as the Hearing Officer. The individuals involved in the grievance and any witnesses with information pertinent to the hearing proceedings will be included in the hearing process. The student has the right to legal counsel at their own expense and to obtain a written recording of the hearing proceedings, also at their own expense. The College may also choose to have legal counsel present when a grievance is heard before a Standards Hearing Board.
