Summer 28 Analysis of Resolution If the student or organization agrees that the violation(s) of the conduct regulations cited occurred, he/she (it) may decide to have the case resolved through the informal process. A student or organization always has the right to refuse the informal process and proceed with a formal hearing. Final resolution of the informal process must meet the following criteria: () the staff member handling the case and the student or student organization agree that informal resolution is a reasonable option given the circumstances; (2) the student or organization must accept responsibility for the violation(s) of the specified conduct regulation(s); (3) the student or organization must agree with the sanctions resulting from the violation(s); (4) if applicable, the victim should agree with the sanctions issued for the violation(s) and may propose sanctions that are reasonable and in accordance with the Code of Conduct. Cases that do not meet all four criteria for the informal resolution will be referred to formal resolution (hearing). The University of Georgia Code of Conduct If the student or organization disputes the investigative finding that a violation of the conduct regulations has taken place, rejects the informal resolution, or does not agree with the sanctions resulting from the informal resolution, the case shall be resolved through the formal resolution procedures...

Summer 28 Analysis of Classification The data in these tables reflect student classification based on incident date and reflects Office of Judicial Programs and University Housing numbers for violations of the Code of Conduct. Many students were responsible for multiple violations; therefore, there is a difference between the number of violations and the actual number of students. Data demonstrates a much higher number of overall violations and actual students for freshmen at the University. While the data displays no violations for graduate and professional students, Judicial Action recognizes first year graduate students as freshmen, second year law students as sophomores, etc. Classification Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Hours Earned Less than 3 hours At least 3 hours At least 6 hours At least 9 hours Classification Number of Alleged Violations Actual Number of Students Freshman 57 Sophomore 26 8 Junior 9 7 Senior 3 2 Alleged Violations by Classification Number of Students by Classification 3% 5% 2% 4% 5% 2% Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Fr eshman Sophomor e Junior Senior 8% 79%
