Disciplinary Hearing. The disciplinary hearing is a discussion between the Faculty member and the Board regarding the allegation(s), investigation, and potential discipline. Such hearing shall occur prior to the decision to implement discipline. The hearing shall provide the Faculty member with an opportunity to respond to the allegation(s), investigation, and to be informed of the sanction(s) under consideration. The Faculty member may present additional evidence, including potential witnesses; request clarification of the disciplinary process and/or the allegation(s); and present any evidence or information which may mitigate any potential disciplinary sanction(s). A Faculty member who elects not to attend such meeting shall forfeit his/her procedural right to respond to the charges; however, it shall not waive the Faculty member’s right to grieve any decision to discipline the Faculty member.
