process.

The following judicial appeal process shall apply for any
student who elects to appeal a non-academic decision made under the college
conduct policy or other established policy of the college.
Personnel who participated in the
initial decision will not participate in the decisions of the judicial
board.
(a)
Any person who wants to appeal a decision under college
policy may do so by requesting in writing a meeting with the judicial board.
The request must be submitted to the office of the chief academic officer
within five working days of the original decision. (For the purposes of this
policy, "working days" shall be defined as any days from Monday through Friday
that the college is open.)
(b)
A meeting of the
judicial board will be scheduled by the chairperson within ten working days of
receipt of the student's appeal and notify the student of the time and place of
the meeting. In the appeal, the student may present evidence or information on
his or her behalf and may be accompanied by a faculty/staff member or other
representative of his or her choice (or if under age of eighteen, may be
accompanied by a legal guardian.). The faculty/staff member, representative, or
guardian may consult with but may not speak on behalf of the student or
otherwise participate directly in the proceedings, unless given permission to
do so by the chairperson.
The chairperson of the judicial board
must supply a written answer to the student within five working days of the
date the appeal is heard. The judicial board shall keep a written summary of
the proceedings. The written summary and any other materials pertinent to the
review shall then be forwarded by the chairperson of the judicial board to the
chief academic officer.
(c)
If the student is
not satisfied with the disposition of the appeal by the judicial board, he or
she may appeal in writing the decision of the judicial board to the president
of the college or his/her designee. The appeal must be filed within five
working days after the receipt of written notice of the decision of the
judicial board.
(d)
The decision of the president of the college or his/her
designee must be rendered within five working days and is
final.
(e)
The appeal may be withdrawn by the student at any point
in the appeal process.
(2)
The judicial
board will be composed of one department chair, three faculty members, three
representatives from student services and two students. A quorum consists of
four committee members plus the chairperson. The members and chairperson of the
judicial board are appointed by the chief academic officer.
