Wow, I wonder why it is confidential. Isn't it a right to know what you're being accused of?
edit: I see, that's fair, as long as the accused get to see.
- Evbn 14y agoIt's not a right of the news media to know.
- rst 14y agoThe board's procedures do give the accused the right "to review all materials considered by the Board in making a decision". The confidentiality rule forbids disclosure of that stuff to those without a "need to know", which would include reporters from the campus paper and the general public.

- Cyranix 14y agoThis isn't a criminal trial. That right doesn't extend to private institutions.
- noahc 14y agoYou're absolutely correct, however, had this been a public university things would have been much different. For example, see: http://thefire.org/cases/dueprocess/ http://thefire.org/cases/dueprocess/
