Ohio Admin. Code 3335-23-13 - Attendance
Because the most accurate and fair review of the facts can best
be accomplished when all parties are present, the respondent and invited
witnesses are strongly encouraged to attend and participate. If an individual
does not choose to attend a hearing, the charges will be reviewed as scheduled
on the basis of
based on the available
information available, and a decision will
be made. Although no inference may be drawn against a student for failing to
attend a hearing or remaining silent, the hearing will proceed and the
conclusion will be based on the evidence presented. No decision shall be based
solely on the respondent's failure
of the respondent to attend the hearing or
answer the charges. In special circumstances, written statements may be
considered by the hearing body when a respondent or witness does not attend or
fully participate in a hearing.
