Upon receipt of an appeal of academic dishonesty sanctions or grade appeal, the VPAA will convene a committee of five full-time faculty members to consider the appeal. The student will recommend two faculty members, and the faculty member whose decision is being appealed will recommend two faculty members for the committee. The VPAA will appoint a fifth faculty member to chair the committee. The chair will serve in a nonvoting capacity except in cases of a tie vote.
Faculty members may decline to serve. In these cases, volunteers will be recruited from the pool of full-time faculty members. No members of the committee shall have involvement with the case being appealed.
In cases where a decision of the VPAA is appealed, the President will choose two faculty members to serve on the committee and appoint a chair of the committee.
