Based on the principle of student involvement, there is both a specific legislative process and a compre hensive judicial system which govern undergraduate stu dents. To the extent that interest motivates personal in volvement, there continue to be broad avenues for student participation in the governance process. THE LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM Michigan State University maintains two levels of regu lations applicable to student conduct, all of which require student · approval. In addition, there are rulings estab lished by administrative offices and policies and ordinances established by the Board of Trustees. The procedures through which the various regulations and policies are enacted are outlined below. General Student Regulations - These regulations' form the basic code of conduct for all students. The approval pro cedure (see Figure One) involves students, faculty, ad ministration and the Board of Trustees. Authority for es tablishment of such regulations is found in the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees: "The Board may make or may delegate through the President to the faculty the author ity to make reasonable rules and regulations for the pur pose of maintaining the health, safety, good order, har mony and discipline of students ....

Administrative Rulings - Administrative offices within the University are, · by practice, delegated authority through the President by the Board of Trustees to establish proce dures which will ensure their effective functioning. Often an office will submit such proposals for review and rec ommendations of a student-faculty advisory committee or a standing committee of the Academic Council. (The Aca demic Council structure is described in the Bylaws for Academic Governance.') Such bodies serve as sources of community opinion and may recommend changes or ad ditions to administrative rulings. Final decisions, however, rest with the administrative office.

THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM Michigan State University does not currently have a single unified judicial system. Rather, there is an undergraduate judicial structure, a graduate judicial structure, and a num ber of other judicial or quasi-judicial bodies with special ized jurisdicitions. All judiciaries, however, operate with an essentially common purpose and philosophy, i.e., to con tribute to the protection of an environment for learning. Although specific procedures vary from one structure or judiciary to another, virtually all operate in a manner de signed to assure due process. The focus of most of the overview which follows is on the undergraduate judicial system established with the adoption of the report on Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State .University in 1967 with amendments approved by the Board of Trustees in 1971 and 1977. What Does a Campus Judicial System Do? It is a relatively common assumption that a judicial system would exist to provide· means for deciding whether or not a regulation has been violated and, if so, what action should appropriately be taken. It may not be an equally common assumption, however, that a judicial system would exist to protect student rights - against infringement by other students, by faculty or administrators, by groups, or the University itself. The MSU campus judiciaries gen erally provjde for both. The undergraduate judicial sys tem for example, provides for consideration of challenges to regulations or administrative decisions alleged to be in consistent with fundamental student rights outlined in the Academic Freedom Report. In addition, there is provision for considering allegations that legislative bodies or offi cers have acted inconsistently with their respective con stitutions. It is through pe1formance of these functions, as well as through considera.tion of alleged violations of regu lations, that the judicial system seeks to maintain that very • delicate balance between maximum freedom and necessary order so fundamental to the protection of an· environment fo~ learning. Structure and Organization of the System The structure and organization of the undergraduate judi cial system is outlined in the chart which follows. The chart indicates the composition, method of selecting mem bers, jurisdiction, and decisions available at the different levels. · Also shown are routes of appeal and referral. The decision of a lower judiciary may be appealed to the next higher judiciary with final appeal being to the Vice President for Student Affairs and Services. Only those decisions by the Student-Faculty Judiciary which are of a disciplinary na ture, however, may be appealed to the Vice President. Any judi<:iary may waive jurisdiction over a particular case and refer it to a higher or lower judiciary. In addition, a living unit may waive all judicial responsibility to its major gov erning group. (Most living units in the current system have done this, partially a result of regulation changes within the jurisdiction of the living units.) · Relationship of the Judicial System to Campus Governance Legislation and adjudication are two separate functions of campus governance, although interdependent for their validity and effectiveness. Each needs the other for sup port and criticism. The judicial system is structured on the principle that legislative authority requires judicial re sponsibility. Accordingly, there is provision for a judiciary body to parallel each legislative body, depending upon it for provision of members and having corresponding juris diction. All-student judiciaries are established in general through the Academic Freedom Report, but they are de fined more specifically in the constitution of the student governing bodies whose jurisdiction they share. For ex ample, composition of the All-University Student Judiciary and the selection of its members are determined by the Constitution of the Associated Students of Michigan State University. The~ Student-Faculty Judiciary, the highest judiciary established in the Academic Freedom Report, is also provided for in the Bylaws of the Academic Council, which is the highest governing body of student and faculty membership. Jurisdictions Jurisdictions of the various judiciaries are determined on the basis of ronstituencies and categories of regulations. Students are held accountable for behavioral expectations set forth in duly established regulations regarding indi vidual and group conduct. Faculty and administrators are held accountable in that their policies and decisions can be challenged by a stu dent who believes a policy or decision to be inronsistent with the principles outlined within the guidelines of the Academic Freedom Report. Each judiciary has jurisdiction over the constituency of the corresponding legislative body. For example, Student Faculty Judiciary is the only body within the undergrad uate judicial structure which may hear challenges· to the decisions of faculty or administrators, as well as alleged violations by students. 61 O" N -~~1!<'~ MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE JUDICIAL STRUCTURE VICE PRESIDENT FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS AND SERVICES \ L~'.I,, ;.• STUDENT-FACULTY JUDICIARY Composition & Selection: APPEAL 4 students recommended by AUS}, appointed by Student Board of ASMSU, 2 year terms. 7 faculty recommended by Committee on Aca demic Governance, appointed by University President for 3 ·year terms. . , 1 secretary, ex-officio, appointed by Vice Pres ident for Student Affairs and Services.

The fundamental rules of due process are prescribed through the ·Academic Freedom Report and are required at all levels of the undergraduate judicial structure. Operational procedures vary somewhat among judiciaries. The essential steps of the disciplinary process are as follows: A. Any member of the University community may ini tiate a complaint against an undergraduate stu Reports of alleged violations of living dent. regulations are unit or major governing group made to· the chief administrative officer of a living unit, in a residence hall the head advi Reports of alleged sor or resident director. violations of all-University regulations or policies are made to the judicial administrator, who acts as administrative office on behalf of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Ser vices. ·· B. The student is notified by the appropriate adminis trative officer that he/ she is accused of violating a regulation and is requested to meet with the admin istrative officer. In the subsequent conference, the student may: 1) admit to the allegation and request, in writing, that the administrative officer take ac tion; 2) admit to the allegation and request a hearing by a judiciary; or 3) deny the allegation, in which case the student is automatically referred to an ap propriate judiciary for a hearing. It should be noted that, as a matter of practice, if the student fails to meet with the administrative officer, the case is also referred to the appropriate judiciary. C. Upon the student's request, the administrative offi cer may take whatever action seems appropriate. Ad ministrative actions are usually in keeping with the range of actions available to the judiciary at the same level but are not restricted to these. The stu- , dent is informed in writing of the administrator's decision, and that the decision may be appealed to the Student-Faculty Judiciary. D. If a judicial hearing is to be conducted a student ac cused of a violation is entitled to: 1. Written notice 72 hours prior to a hearing, stating: a. Time and place of the hearing b. Charges, of sufficient particularity to enable the student to prepare his/ her defense ,Names of witnesses c. 2. Appef r in person and present his/ her defense a. Call witnesses in his/ her behalf b. Be accompanied by cqunsel of his/ her choice from among the student body, faculty or · staff of the University c. Ask questions of the judicial body or witnesses d. Refuse to answer questions 3. Elect not to appear a. Absence to be noted without prejudice b. Hearing to be conducted in student's absence 4. An e~peditious hearing 5. An explanation of reasons for any decision 6. Notification of his/her right to appeal ~ ·. Substantive cases. A different process is followed in hear ing substantive cases in which a regulation or an admin istrative decision is alleged to be inconsistent with the guidelines. established in the Academic Freedom Report. The general procedures employed are as follows : A. Student submits a request for a hearing in which he/ she must specifically cite those sections of the Academic Freedom Report he./she believes to have been violated and provide a brief statement of argu ment. A student need not be in violation of a regl.1- lation in order to challenge. B. If the judiciary believes that the appeal has merit (e.g., it falls within the judiciary's jurisdiction, it is not frivolous) a copy of the appeal is sent to the party responsible for the decision or regulation and a written response is requested. C. After considering both ~he request for a hearing and the response, the judiciary may do one of the fol lowing: 1. Accept the request for a formal hearing 2. Reject the request 3. Invite the parties to discuss the matter informally with the judiciary D. Hearings are conducted as follows : 1. Hearings are open 2. Both the appellant and the respondent may be accompanied by counsel from the student body, faculty or administrative staff of the Uni,versity 3. Each party is given thirty minutes to present his/ her case 4: Each party is given ten minutes for rebuttal , 5. Parties direct all remarks and questions through the chairman 6. Members of the judiciary may ask questions dur ing the hearing E. The judiciary considers the matter in closed session and makes a ruling. F. Parties to the case are notified of the judiciary's find ings, and all opinions are made public in an appro priate manner. There is a community expectation that if a regulation or administrative decision is found to be inconsistent with the Academic Freedom Report the changes necessary to bring about con sistency will be made. Compliance is gained pri marily on the basis of "good faith ." A ruling of the judiciary that finds no inconsistency serves to re inforce the validity of the regulation or decision. In addition to the regular procedures just described, a student may request expedited consideration of urgent cases in which it is alleged that a regulation or adminis trative decision threatens immediate and irreparable .in fringement on student rights as defined in the Academic Freedom Report. If in the opinion of the chairman the request has merit, a preliminary hearing will be called be fore a panel of the judiciary. The panel may decide to request the administrator or administrative office to post pone or withdraw action pending a full hearing on the case. 63 . Other Judicial Bodies Several judicial bodies within the University have special areas of jurisdiction and may or may not have a direct link with the undergraduate system described above. A. College and departmental hearing committees have original jurisdiction over a student complaint that his/her academic rights have been violated by a faculty member. Composition and procedures of such committees vary. Decisions at the departmental level may be appealed to the college committee. College level decisions may be appealed to the Student Faculty J~diciary, whose decision is final. College and departmental committees may also hear student complaints concerning the quality of instruc tion. Decisions on complaints of this kind, however, may not be appealed beyond the college committee except to the dean of the college, who may ask that a given case be reconsidered. (Consult respec- , , tive departmental or college office.) B. The Student Traffic Appeals Court is an autono mous, all-student body provided for under the AS MSU Constitution. The court has jurisdiction over summons issued by the Department of Public Safe ty for violation of the Student Motor Vehicle Regu lations. The first appeal is received in writing and considered by a panel of justices. A second may be · made by appearing in person before the entire court. There is no further appeal. Student Motor Vehicle Regulations are recommended by an All-University Traffic Committee (student-faculty membership) and are approved by the Board of Trustees. A fine struc ture for violations is provided within the vehicle regulations. (Consult ASMSU Constitution and Code of Operations, or the S.T.A'. C. Office, 331 Student Services.) C. The Anti-Discrimination Judicial Board is coordi nated through the Office of Human Relations. It is composed of three undergraduates and one gradu ate student, three faculty members, one representa tive each from the administrative-professional staff and the labor employees, and two representatives of the MSU Employee Association, with ' an ex officio secretary from the Department of Human Re lations. The Board has jurisdiction over violations of the University policy against discrimination based on race, creed, ethnic origin, sex, age, political per suasion, or sexual preference. It may hear complaints filed by students, faculty members, or employees. Parties involved in anti-discrimination proceedings have unrestricted choice of counsel. The Board may specify the actions that must be taken by the charged individual or orgl'\nization to remedy a vio lation. Intent is to remove the effects of discrimina- · tion rather than to punish violators. Decisions of the Anti-Discrimination Judicial Board are reviewed by the President of the University. (Consult the Anti-Disc1'inrination Policies and P~ocedu~es) or the Department of Human Relations.) D. Graduate Judicial Structure. A completely separate judicial structure is provided for adjudicating cases brought by and against graduate students ·in the areas of: 1) academic rights and responsibilities; 2) professional rights and duties of graduate assistants; 3) professional rights and duties of other graduate students; and 4) University regulations. Judiciaries are provided for at the departmental, college and University levels. Each judiciary is composed of an equal number of faculty and student members with a faculty member serving as chairman. Decisions available including warning, probation with specific the s.tudent' s stipulations, and dismissal from (Consult Groatlua.te Rights and academic program.

It supplies, however, a necessary perspective for inter preting the document. The present emphasis on student rights at Michigan State University must be understood against the social and his torical background of the University itself. When, more than a century ago, the people of Michigan established this institution on the -land-grant principle, they framed a new conception of the role of the univer sity in American life. A land-grant university is a trusteeship of intellect in the service of society. It gathers society's creative and criti cal ·powers and uses them in order to liberate all of so ciety's other powers. That is the special character that has caused the land grant university to become one of the great transforming agencies of the American scene. When it honors its com mission, it acts not for its own sake, not for the sake of the academic community, but for the sake of society be yond the academy. All members of the academic commu nity - enact trustees, administration and faculty alike - a trust of which society beyond the university is the proper beneficiary. The real significance of this document, as we believe, is not that students have acquired rights, but that they have explicitly been made party to our social trust. The respon sibility which lies upon the administration and the faculty continues. They remain guardians of the university, charged with preserving in it the genius of scholarship and the conditions of inquiry which society has entrusted to their care. PREFACE The Faculty Committee on Student Affairs prepared this report after an extensive and intensive review and study of the University's rules and structures relating to aca demic freedom for students. The report recommends guidelines which represent the ·Committee's attempt to identify rights and duties of students in regard to conduct, academic pursuits, the keeping of records, and publica tions. It proposes structures and procedures for the formu lation of regulations governing student conduct, for the interpretation and amendment of the guidelines, for the adjudication of student disciplinary cases, and for chan neling to the faculty and administration student complaints and concerns in the academic area. The report also con tains recommendations on a number of important related subjects. We wish to caution against one possible kind of misinter pretation of our recommendations. In some respects, what we propose represents major changes in present policies, structures, and procedures. But that is not true of all of our proposals. In some important respects, our recom mendations simply make explicit what has long been un derstood and practiced at Michigan State University. Although the Committee's study centered on academic freedom for students, we have made no attempt to formu late a general and abstract definition of that term, or to explain it in an interpretive essay. Instead we have di rected our energies to the formulation of an operational definition and concrete application of the concept. This report identifies rights and duties of students ·and provides for them a carefully prescribed system of substantive and procedural due process; and we submit these guidelines, structures, and procedures as a testament of the Com mittee's concept of academic freedom for students. - Faculty Committee on Student Affairs ARTICLE 1 Student Rights and Responsibilities at Michigan State University 1.1 Michigan State University is a community of schol ars whose members include its faculty, students, and ad ministrators. The basic purposes of the University are the enlargement, dissemination and application of knowledge. The most basic necessity for the achievement of these purposes is freedom of expression and communication. Without this freedom, effective sifting and testing of ideas cease and research, teaching, and learning are stifled. Knowledge is as broad and diverse as life itself, and the need for freedom is equally broad. Yet absolute freedom in all aspects . of life means anarchy, just as absolute order means tyranny. Both anarchy and tyranny are antithetical to the purposes and necessities of the University. There fore, the University always must strive to strike that bal ance between maximum freedom and necessary order which best promotes its basic purposes by providing the environment most conducive to the many faceted activ ities of research, teaching, and learning. 1.2 Each right of an individual places a reciprocal duty upon others: the duty to permit the individual to exercise the right. The student, in his status as a member of the academic community, has both rights and duties. Within that community, the student's most essential right is the right to learn. The University has a duty to provide for the student those privileges, opportunities and protec tions which best promote the learning process in all its aspects. The student, for his part, has duties to other mem bers of the academic c'ommunity, the most important of which is to refrain .from interference with those rights of others which are equally essential to the purposes and processes of the University. 1.3 The University cherishes many values, modes of thought and standards of behavior that are better taught by example, persuasion, social pressure, and rewards than by the threat of penalties. Regulations governing the ac tivities and conduct of student groups and individual stu dents should not be comprehensive codes of desirable con duct; rather, they should be limited to the prescription of procedures for meeting the practical, ,routine necessities of a complex community and to the prohibition or limita tion of acts which cannot be tolerated because they seri ously interfere with the basic purposes, necessities and processes of the academic community, or with rights es sential to other members of that community. 1.4 The student is not only a member of the academic community; he is also a citizen of the larger society. As a citizen, he retains those rights, protections and guaran tees of fair treatment which are .held by all citizens, and the University may not deny them to him. The enforce ment of the student's duties to the larger society is, how ever, the responsibility of the legal and judicial authorities duly established for that purpose. 67 1.5 To protect student rights and to facilitate the defini tion of student responsibilities at Michigan State Univer sity, the following guidelines are established: 1.5.01 All regulations shall seek the best possible recon ciliation of the principles of maximum freedom and neces sary order. 1.5.02 There shall be no regulation unless there is a demonstrable need for it which is reasonably related to the basic purposes and necessities of the University as stipulated herein. I 1.5.03 To the maximum extent feasible, students shall participate in formulating and revising regulations govern ing student conduct. 1.5.04 All regulations governing student conduct shall be made public in an appropriate manner. 1.5.05 Every regulation shall be as brief, clear and spe cific as possible. 1.5.06 Wherever rights conflict, regulations ,shall, to the maximum extent feasible, permit reasonable scope for each conflicting right by defining the circumstances of time, place and means appropriate to its exercise. 1.5.07 Regulations relating to communication of ideas shall encourage the competition of ideas. 1.5.08 Procedures and penalties for the violation of regu lations shall be designed for guidance or correction of be havior rather than for retribution. 1.5.09 Penalties shall be commensurate with the serious ness of the offense. Repeated violations may justify in creasingly severe penalties. 1.5.10 There shall be clearly defined channels and pro cedures for the appeal and review of: a. The finding of guilt in an alleged violation of a regulation. b. The reasonableness, under the circumstances, of the penalty imposed for a specific violation. c. The substance of a regulation or administrative de cision which is alleged to be inconsistent with the guidelines in this document. d. The fairness of the procedures followed in the origi- nal adjudication. 1.5.11 Every regulation shall specify to whom it applies and whether responsibility for compliance lies with indi viduals, with groups, or with both. ARTICLE 2 Academic Rights and Responsibilitise of Students 2.1 Preamble and Guidelines 2.1.1 The freedom and effectiveness of the educational process depend upon the provision of appropriate condi tions and opportunities for learning. The responsibility to secure, respect and protect such opportunities and con ditions is shared by all members of the academic com munity. The primacy of the faculty~s role and its unques tionable centrality in the educational process must be recognized. The primary intellectual purpose of the Uni versity - is the its intellectual content ancl integrity - responsibility of the faculty. 68 It is the instructor's role to encourage free discus 2.1.2 sion, inquiry and expression among his students in their quest for knowledge. He should hold before them the best scholarly standards of his discipline. He should i;:onduct himself in keeping with the dignity of his profession. He should adhere closely to his proper role as intellectual guide and counselor. He should foster honest academic conduct and evaluate his students fairly and accurately. He should respect the confidential nature of the relation ship between instructor and student. He should avoid ex ploitation of students for private advantage and should acknowledge significant assistance from them. He should protect students' rights as defined herein. 2.1.3 The establishment and maintenance of the proper relationship between instructor and student are funda mental to the University's function, and require both in structor and student to recognize the rights and responsi bilities which derive from it. The relationship between in structor and student as individuals should be founded on mutual respect and understanding; it assumes a common dedication to the educational process. If problems arise in this relationship, whether on matters personal or on matters concerning instructional materials and methods, both student and instructor should attempt to resolve them in informal, direct discussions as between well-intentioned, reasonable persons. 2.1.4 To identify and define the academic rights and responsibilities of students at Michigan State University, the following guidelines are established: The Responsibility of the Stttdent 2.1.4.1 The student is responsible for learning the con tent of a course of study according to standards of per formance established by the faculty. · 2.1.4.2 The student's behavior in the classroom shall be conducive to the learning process for all concerned. The Academic Rights of the Student 2.1.4.3 The student shall be free to take reasoned ex ception to data and views offered in the classroom, and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, without fear of penalty. , 2.1.4.4 The student has a right to a course grade that represents his instructor.'s good-faith judgment of the stu dent's performance in the course. (A lack of good faith may be established by proof that a grade was based partly or entirely on considerations irrelevant to the assessment of the student's performance in the course.) 2.1.4.5 The student has a right to protection against im proper disclosure of information concerning his grades, views, beliefs, political associations, health, or character which an instructor acquires in the course of his profes sional relationship with the student. 2.1.4.6 The student has a right to accurate and clearly stated information which enables him to determine: a. The general requirements for establishing and main taining an acceptable academic standing; b. His own academic relationship with the University and any special conditions which apply; c. The graduation requirements for his particular cur riculum and major. 2.1.4.7 The student has a right to be _governed by edu cationally justifiable academic regulations. 2.1.4.8 Departments and colleges must provide clearly defined channels for the rt1Ceipt and consideration of stu dent complaints relative to academic rights violations (as hereinabove defined). 2.1.4.8.1 Student complaints relative to violations of aca demic rights must be initiated with the department wher ever that is appropriate ,or otherwise at. the lowest feasible administrative level. If the complaint is not resolved at the depart 2.1.4.8.2 ment level, either party may appeal to the college, and if the matter is not resolved at that level, to the Student Facu~ty Judiciary. 2.1.4.8.3 All appeals must be filed within ten days fol lowing receipt of a hearing board disposition. Disposi tions are held in abeyance if a matter is in appeal. 2.1.4.9 Fac;ulty shall have final a~thority and responsi bility for course content, classroom procedure and grad ing. No committee or judicial body established under this document shall have any power to change or to direct a change in any individual grade that represents the instruc tor's good-faith judgment of the student's performance in the course. In the event that a grade is determined to be based on factors other than a student's performance, fol lowing the procedure of 2.1.4.8., the dean of the college shall cause the student's performance to be reassessed and appropriate grade awarded. 2.2 The Professional Rights of the Faculty 2.2.1 The code of equity law prescribes for every wrong a remedy. It has been found (a) that there are in fact, in isolable cases at this University, ' legitimate complaints of students concerning the quality of instruction, and (b) that in some cases the students are presently without a remedy. · In such cases, in a well-ordered university; the 2.2.2 student has a right to a remedy, and this University un dertakes, within the limits of its resources and the limits imposed by due respect for the professional rights of the faculty, to supply it. 2.2.3 The limits of the University's resources proceed from factors subject to its influence but not always sub ject to its control. Nevertheless, within these limits the University's obligation is ·on all occasions to supply such remedies as it can. 2.2.4 The p~ofessional rights of the faculty are another matter, and no provision for the rights of students can be valid which suspends them or in any measure invades them. The question here is not whether students have the right to competent instruction, but how this right which is admitted is to be reconciled with the rights of the fac ulty which must also be admitt'ovt; judicial procedures. 4.3.2 Once' a grievance has been filed with a judiciary it shall be the responsibility of the chairman to notify, in writing, all parties involved within a period of 48 hours, 'excluding the period from 5:00 p.m. Friday to 8:00 a.m. Monday. If the party charged in the grievance admits its 4.3.2.1 validity, he/ she may request the judiciary to take appro priate action according to the penalties cited above. Should the individual admit the grievance and be given a penalty, he/she may appeal the decision to the next higher judiciary. If the party charged in the grievance denies its 4.3.2.2 validity, the judiciary shall conduct a hearing according to the procedures outlined herein. 4.3:3 At least· 72 hours prior to a hearing the chairman of a judiciary shall provide the following to all parties: (1) A written statement of the charges of sufficient par ticularity to enable the parties to prepare their cases. (2) Written notification of the time and place of the hearing. (3) A copy of this document and all other relevant doc uments. 4.3.4 All parties shall be entitled to appear in person to . present their case to the judiciary, and may call witnesses on their1 behalf. Any party may elect not to appear before the judiciary, in which case the hearing shall be held in his; her absence. Absence of a party shall not be preju dicial to his/her case. 4.3.5 All parties shall be entitled to counsel · of their chofoe, chosen from within the University community. 4.3.6 Any party or his/her counsel shall be entitled to ask questions of the opposing party or of any witnesses. 4.3.7 Any party shall be entitled to refuse to answer questions. 4.3.8 All parties shall be entitled to an expeditious hear ing of a case. 4.3.8.1 In urgent cases in which it is alleged that a regu Jation, administrative decision or action threatens imme diate and irreparable damage to any of the parties in volved,\ the judicia1y shall expedite the hearing and final disposition of the case. A judiciary is empowered to direct an individual or unit to discontinue or postpone, pending final disposition of the case, any action which threatens to cause irreparable harm. 4.3.9 Parties shall be entitled .to an adequately explained written decision. It shall be the responsibility of the chairman of a judiciary to file a copy of this decision with the chairman of the department or unit, the dean of the college and the dean of the Graduate School. Adverse de cisions shall be made a part of the person's record. 4.3.10 All parties shall be notified in writing of their right to appeal the decision of a judiciary. Should an ap peal be instituted, any action, decision or penalty ordered by the judiciary shall be held in suspension until acted upon by a higher judiciary. 4.4 The dean of the Graduate School shall direct the implementation of any redress or penalty stipulated by any judibiary. 82 ~- ; ~.
