NOTICE OF APPEAL FORM

In the matter of: ______________________________________________________________.

Under the Student Sexual Misconduct Investigation & Adjudication Procedures, either party has

a right to appeal. An appeal must be submitted within five (5) business days of receipt of the

SRC’s Notice of Adjudication Outcome.

Appeals submitted after the five (5) business day period, will not be considered. The other

party(s) will be notified if an appeal is submitted and will be provided five (5) business days to

submit a response.

Appeals are not intended to allow for a rehearing of the complaint. A decision to grant an appeal

is made only where there is clear error.

Appellate procedures can be found in the Student Sexual Misconduct Investigation &

Adjudication Procedures, Appendix A, on pages 19-20.

Appellant (Submitted By): ______________________________________________________.

You must check the basis for your appeal:

☐ Procedural Error: A violation of procedural due process means that the decision was

negatively influenced by a failure of the SRC to take a procedural step or fulfill a

procedural requirement established by this policy.

☐ New Evidence: New evidence is significant evidence that could not have been

previously discovered and presented by the appellant through reasonable diligence.

☐ Substantive Due Process: A violation of substantive due process means that the SRC

decision was based upon an illegal or constitutionally impermissible consideration (e.g.

party’s gender, race, age, national origin, sexual orientation or a party’s exercise of first

amendment freedoms)

Please state all the information that should be considered by the SRC Appellate Body in support

of your appeal (under one of the grounds noted above.) Please do not restate any information

already contained in the Investigative and/or SRC Adjudication Outcome Report. Those

documents will be provided to the appellate body.
