9.3 Interim Process 

Upon the decision of the Dean of Students (or designee), that a student meets the criteria herein, OSCCR will follow the following expedited procedure.

This meeting must be scheduled within five (5)  business days of the interim action. 

9.3.2 Meeting with Conflict Resolution Facilitator 

During this meeting, the student/UAO will be presented with the information on which the decision was based and will be allowed to present their understanding of the circumstances. Neither the student/UAO  nor the CRF will call or question witnesses. The student/ UAO may be accompanied by one(1)support person and must sign a release of information to be present for the meeting.
