Actions Taken Upon an AIC Hearing Panel Decision
The AIC chair is to notify the instructor’s dean and the student’s dean (if applicable) of the outcome of the hearing panel.
If the hearing panel has found the student guilty of academic misconduct, the AIC chair will inform the student’s academic advisor of the outcome. The AIC chair will make the following additional notifications if relevant: if the student is an athlete, the Chief Athletics Officer and the Faculty Athletics Representative are to be notified; if the student is a member of ROTC, their Commanding Officer is to be notified. The instructor’s dean or designee is also to inform both the student and the instructor of the finding and is to enforce all penalties, which may include expulsion from the university. If applicable, the instructor’s dean or designee is also to notify the Registrar to place a “training hold” on the student’s account to prevent the student from registering for classes, requesting transcripts, and/or graduating, until he or she receives notification from the appropriate units (i.e., the Writing Center and the Academic Support Center) that any mandatory educational training (see Section VI above) has been completed.
If the student is found innocent, the instructor’s dean or designee is to notify the Registrar that any holds on the student’s academic records are to be released, and also to notify the instructor to retract any course-level penalties previously assessed and to re-grade the assignment(s) in question as if no academic misconduct occurred.
