Answer Key

18. According to the Student Conduct Code, victims of hazing are afforded specific rights in the University’s judicial process. These are:

A victim of hazing can submit a “victim impact statement” to assist with the sanctioning phase of deliberations once an individual or organization has been found in violation of the Student Conduct Code. This statement will help the hearing body understand the victim’s experience so that an appropriate sanction can be identified. During the judicial hearing, victims are provided the opportunity to submit questions to the hearing body for them to ask the charged student or student organization. Though, the questions will be asked at the discretion of the hearing body to insure their appropriateness for the setting. After the hearing, victims are notified of the outcome or finding of the hearing body.
