Article IX - Hearing Procedure
Section A. Hearings of the Graduate Honor Council are closed. As such, all witnesses will be interviewed
separately. The accused and any accused's advocate are permitted to be present for all presentation of
evidence and witness testimony. The accuser is not required to attend the hearing.
Note: In the rare event that a student is unable physically to attend the Graduate Honor Council proceedings in
person, he/she will be required to sign a statement of confidentiality attesting to the fact that no one else is in
the same room or able to hear the proceedings during the hearing and that no audio/video recordings are
being made of the hearing. The student will also be required to join the hearing via University-approved video
conferencing. In the event a student violates the statement of confidentiality/attestation, he/she is subject to
being charged with an academic/professional violation(s) with penalty(ies) to be decided in a separate hearing.
Section B. The procedure for conducting a hearing shall be as follows:
1. Following a formal reading of the charges, the accused is required to enter a plea before testimony is
heard.
2. Each person providing testimony will be required to testify under oath. Both the Graduate Honor Council
members and the accused will be afforded an opportunity to question persons providing testimony.
3. The Honor Council may allow the introduction of evidence other than testimony of witnesses if the Honor
Council determines that the evidence is relevant.
