Hearing Advisor
A hearing advisor assists a student who has been notified that his/her conduct is being investigated before a possible judicial board hearing or who has been charged with an alleged violation that will be resolved through a judicial board hearing. An advisor is neither involved in determining the outcome of the case nor allowed to speak or argue a case on behalf of a charged student. Instead, an advisor assists the student, if requested, in understanding his/her rights and responsibilities and the hearing procedures. An advisor may accompany the student to investigation, hearing, and appeal proceedings. During a hearing, an advisor may accompany the charged student in the hearing room whenever the charged student is present. An advisor may counsel the charged student during a hearing but may not participate actively in the hearing; the charged student must speak for himself/herself and suggest questions of witnesses as needed.
