Both the Complainant and the Respondent may appeal a decision of the Hearing Panel to a three (3) member Review Panel that is chaired by the nonvoting Review Panel Chair. No person who served on the Hearing Panel will sit on the Review Panel in the same case. A member of the Review Panel may be asked to withdraw for good cause upon request of either party, which determination shall be made in the Review Panel Chair’s sole discretion. If the Review Panel Chair is reasonably challenged by a party, the Director shall appoint another member.

Because the student conduct system utilizes the decision of the University Hearing and Review Panels to define or interpret violations, summaries of all decisions of those boards shall be kept on file in the OSCCS, including a brief description of the nature of the case and its disposition, but with names of individuals and other identifying information redacted.
