Or. Admin. Code § 574-032-0000

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024

Section 574-032-0000 - Introduction

(1) Western Oregon University's Campus Student Conduct Program holds the education of the Student at its philosophical heart. This educational philosophy defines a structure for the Student Conduct Program which gives the Charged Student choices for resolving allegations of misconduct.

(2) The current hearing structure includes three options which vary in their degree of formality and philosophy. In order from least to most formal, they are: Hearing with Mediators, Hearing with the Dean of Students, Student Conduct Coordinator or designee, and Hearing with the Committee.

(3) The Charged Student first meets with the Dean of Students, Student Conduct Coordinator or designee, who in turn helps direct the Student to the proper arena for resolution of the allegation(s). The Charged Student always has the right to request that the hearing be held with a different party within the system. The party (individual or group) which hears the allegation(s) will dictate the formality of the proceedings, and all types of hearings, except for Mediation, will have equal jurisdiction and ability to assign sanctions.
