Code of Student Conduct
Informal Resolution Conferences and Conduct Conferences
28. Students charged with non-academic offenses that may result in penalties less than expulsion or suspension are subject to an informal disciplinary conference: either an Informal Resolution Conference with paraprofessional staff or a Conduct Conference, with the Assistant Director of Residence Life for Student Conduct or a designee. The following procedural protections are provided to respondents in disciplinary conferences:
- written notice via the student’s Susquehanna e-mail account of the specific charges at least three business days prior to the scheduled conference;
- reasonable access to the case file prior to and during the conference. The case file consists of materials which would be considered “educational records,”' pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974; personal notes of university staff members or complainants are not included.
- an opportunity to respond to the evidence and to call relevant and necessary witnesses.
- a right to be accompanied by an advisor, as provided in Part 36 of this code.
