AIC Hearing Panel Deliberations
Once the Hearing Panel is alone with the AIC Chair, the Chair will answer any questions that any member of the AIC Hearing Panel might have about the proceedings. Then the Chair will leave the panelists alone to deliberate until they notify the chair that they are ready to vote. The vote is to be private, submitted by paper ballot, and administered by the chair, with the majority determining the outcome. In the event of a tie, the student is to be found not guilty.
If the accused student is either unable or unwilling to attend the Hearing Panel, and the AIC chair has opted to have five members of the AIC review the student’s case without attending a physical meeting, deliberations are to occur electronically.
