Charged with a Code of Conduct or Disciplinary Violation at a College or University in Maine? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you find yourself charged with a code of conduct or disciplinary violation as a student or parent of a student, it is important that you take it seriously. Contrary to what some schools may say about it being an educational opportunity, such cases can have devastating consequences on both academic and professional goals including employment opportunities, internships, and graduate school. Therefore it is critical that you take the necessary precautions before discussing your situation.

No matter who informs you of these allegations – be it the Office of Student Conduct, athletic coach, campus police or professor – refrain from discussing the case before seeking legal advice. It is vital to understand how the school conducts their investigation and examines such claims. Familiarize yourself with your institution’s policies and procedures for their investigations. Schools will always conduct an investigation whether they decide if responsibility lies solely on investigation reports or through hearings.

It’s time to tell your version of events having defined clearly what allegations are against you. It is essential to give support for them with relevant evidence, witness testimony and other information based on circumstances provided. For institutions opting towards an adjudicating board hearing processes, delivering compelling opening statements and closing statements would be crucial.

Furthermore, students must consider that universities often do not safeguard the rights an accused in such situations so ensuring a fair process from start to finish is essential for the best outcome possible. Failing to investigate into one’s defense effectively can result in appeal proceedings being required after unfavorable outcomes become apparent; therefore involving attorneys well-experienced in disciplinary procedures before cases commence are strongly advisable.
