In cases where a student is found responsible for Prohibited Conduct as defined above, sanctions will be determined by the Assistant Dean of Students / Director of Residence Life and Community Standards or designee. In cases where a faculty member is found responsible for Prohibited Conduct as defined above, sanctions (which may include referral to a separate process for the determination of employment-status-related sanctions, as appropriate), will be determined by a College administrator appointed by the President. In cases where a non-faculty employee is found responsible for Prohibited Conduct as defined above, sanctions (which may include referral to a separate process for the determination of employment-status-related sanctions, as appropriate) will be determined by the Associate Director of Human Resources or designee. Individuals in these positions will be referred to here as “sanctioning officers”. In cases where a respondent occupies more than one of these categories, sanctioning officers will determine at their discretion who will determine the sanction, either jointly or individually.

The sanctioning officer will determine sanctions after receiving notice from the hearing officer that a determination of responsibility has been made in a particular case, and based upon a review of file documents and other case-related resources as deemed appropriate at the discretion of the sanctioning officer. The sanctioning officer and the hearing officer will collaborate to produce one written determination, which will provide notice to the parties of findings regarding responsibility, resulting sanctions, and the rationale therefor. Written determinations regarding responsibility and sanctions will be communicated to the parties simultaneously.
