Formal Hearing Precedent

Findings and Sanctions
The Office of the Dean of Students publishes relevant aggregate data regarding the charges and outcomes from prior Formal Hearings. This information is provided to the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ community for educational purposes and to increase awareness of the College’s community standards and expectations.
Sanctioning attempts to balance consistency across similar cases while acknowledging the specific circumstances of each case. Although precedent is not applied prescriptively, it helps to balance consistency and fairness with individual situations and accountability.
Factors relevant to sanctioning may include, but are not limited to, the nature of the offense, the Respondent’s intent, the impact of the Respondent’s actions, acceptance of responsibility, remorse and forthrightness, prior disciplinary history, precedent from similarly situated matters, and the severity of any damage, injury, or harm resulting from the violation. Additionally, where appropriate, both mitigating and aggravating factors may be considered.
Please note: The summaries omit personally identifiable information such as gender, class year, date of incident, medical or health related information, and other sensitive information. Additional sanctions, such as those requiring medical treatment, mental health, or substance abuse counseling, have also been removed. Summaries are listed in non-chronological order.
