AIC Hearing Panel Proceedings

The Chair of the AIC is to preside over the proceedings of the Hearing Panel.

• The AIC Chair is to allow the student to present evidence.
• The AIC Chair may allow the student to present witnesses, at his or her discretion.
• The AIC Chair may allow the instructor to give testimony and present witnesses, at his or her discretion.
• The AIC Chair is to allow panel participants to ask both the student and the instructor questions.

Formal rules of evidence need not apply. If either the student or the instructor fails to attend the hearing, the hearing will still proceed. The student has the right to hear the testimony and witnesses offered by the instructor, as well as to review all evidence submitted by the instructor. At the sole discretion of the AIC Chair, the instructor may be excluded from any part of the panel proceedings. All evidence presented will be considered objectively by the panel. Both the instructor and the student are only to speak when prompted by the AIC Chair. Once all evidence has been presented and panel members have finished with their questions, the Chair will ask everyone to leave except for the panel members, so that deliberations can occur.
