(1)
The respondent may appeal a disciplinary action by filing a written notice of
appeal with the conduct review officer within twenty-one days of service of the

respondent is seeking review.

officer.
(4) A respondent, who
timely appeals a disciplinary action or whose case is referred to the student
conduct committee, has a right to a prompt, fair, and impartial hearing as
provided for in these procedures.
(5) On appeal, the college bears the burden
of establishing the evidentiary facts underlying the imposition of a
disciplinary sanction by a preponderance of the evidence.
(6) Imposition of disciplinary action for
violation of the student conduct code shall be stayed pending appeal, unless
respondent has been summarily suspended.

appeals from:
(a) The imposition of
disciplinary suspensions in excess of ten instructional days;
(b) Dismissals; and
(c) Discipline cases referred to the
committee by the student conduct officer, the conduct review officer, or the
president.
(8) Student
conduct appeals from the imposition of the following disciplinary sanctions
shall be reviewed through a brief adjudicative proceeding:

less;
(b) Disciplinary
probation;

imposed in conjunction with one of the foregoing disciplinary
