Dickson vs. Alabama case in 1961 was the founda- tion for giving students this right. Generally speaking, the less serious. behavior, the less serious sanc- tion, Turner said. The more serious behavior, the more serious sanction the student will get. Its the students choice. The student is not forced to close the case with a mutual agreement. It is the stu- dents choice and right to decide wheth- _ Although Turner could Net er they want to sign a mutual agreement speak specifically regarding the case he) or have a hearing. could speak about the judicial process, which is deeper and more ran than is shown here. Decisions in the student ju- dicial process is based on preponder- ance, Turner said. Is it more likely than not that the violation did occur? We dont deal with guilt, but we think in terms of responsibility. Are they re- sponsible or not? The process of student judicial affairs begins when a report is written. Anyone can file charges against any student for misconduct which will start the process, Turner said. We would then follow up with the reported student. In most cases, once a report is filed and student judicial affairs see a need to investigate, students will meet with their RD, called an initial meet- ing, to tell their side of the story. Al- though student student judicial affairs have found reason to investigate, the student is not always found responsible for the action. They talk to the student to find out their side of the story, Turner said. If the student and the RD come to an agreement about what happened, it closes the case. If the violation did oc- cur what would the sanctions be? Once the RD and student come to an agreement the student has to fill out an Acknowledgment of Charges slip forfeiting the right to a hearing. The then fill out a Case Adjudication Form, which they will decide together what sanction will be placed on the stu- dent According to the student hand- book, sanctions are intended to educate the student about their actions, the con- sequences of their actions and how their actions affect the community around. Each sanction is placed on the student based on the severity of their violation of the code of conduct. Tts the students right and/or option to decide if they want a hear- ing, Turner said. According to Turner it is not necessary to set up a hearing, but if the RD and student do not agree upon what happened or the student requests it, a hearing will be scheduled. According to the student hand- book, students are not required to attend the hearing, but there is consequences if the student does not show up. : If students dont show up, the hearing will continue, but it prevents the students voice from being heard, Turner said. During the hearing, the board will listen to the students side: of the story, collect facts and then decide which sanction to bestow on the stu- dent responsible. According to Tuner there are two phases to the hearing. Phase 1 is the finding phase where the board gathers information, hears the students story and asks questions about the students characters. Phase 2 is the sanctioning phase where the board goes behind closed doors to ask the question is the student responsible for the charges? If the answer is no the student is re- leased, but if the answer is yes the board will decide which sanction to place on the student. WCUs student judicial pro- cess exists to help educate the students about their behavior. Turner wants the students to learn from their mistakes and become better people. We want our process and the sanctions to be educational in nature, Turner said. We want students to learn from their situations and change their behavior. We want the students to make better decisions, and learn that all be- haviors have consequences whether they may be good or bad. City for the College Media: WOMENS HISTORY MONTH (Cont.)
