B. INVESTIGATION. The object of the investigation is to ascertain facts and determine whether charges should be filed against one or more students. It is conducted by the

Department of Public Safety and the Dean of Students or their designee.

C. FILING OF CHARGES. Depending upon what is discovered in the investigation; a student may or may not be charged with a violation of the Code of Conduct.

A charge does not automatically mean responsibility; students who are charged will receive a letter electronically to their my.liu.edu email address which outlines the requirement of an administrative hearing.

D. PROCESS AND TIMELINE FOR HEARING AND

DECISION. If a violation of the Code of Conduct is alleged, an administrative hearing is held with a hearing officer that is assigned by the Dean of Students or designee.

The judicial process occurs over a period of several days. To facilitate an expedient and consistent system, guidelines have been established according to a timeline of events as follows:

• The student will receive a letter from a hearing officer notifying them of the alleged charges and requiring the scheduling of an administrative hearing. This Pre-Hearing

Letter will be issued electronically to the student’s my.liu.edu email address. Failure to check or utilize the email account will not be the responsibility of the hearing officer serving as the adjudicator of the pending case/investigation.
