Summary of Investigation & Due Process

The College follows a comprehensive process to ensure a fair and thorough investigation of hazing allegations:

1. Intake: Upon receiving a hazing report, the Dean of Students Office conducts a preliminary assessment and determines appropriate next steps, including emergency interventions if necessary.
2. Interim Measures: Safety measures are implemented if needed to protect individuals and the campus community.
3. Investigation: Trained investigators conduct interviews, gather evidence, and document findings. All parties are provided with due process protections throughout the investigation.
4. Resolution: Cases are adjudicated through the student conduct process, providing the accused organization with opportunities to respond to allegations and present evidence.
5. Appeal: Organizations found responsible may appeal decisions through established institutional procedures outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.

All investigations and outcomes are properly documented in accordance with federal and state requirements.
