ADVISOR RESOURCES

An advisor is someone who can support and assist a student involved in a student conduct matter. A student is able to select an advisor of their choice with the exception of others involved in the incident.

Advisors for either party may only advise or assist but may not engage in any verbal presentation or questioning. Attorneys may serve as advisors to the parties, subject to the same limitations and conditions as delineated in the Code.

In Title IX matters, the advisor of choice may accompany the parties to any meeting or hearing they are permitted to attend, but may not speak for the party, except for the purpose of cross-examination. The parties are not permitted to conduct cross-examination; it must be conducted by the advisor. As a result, if a party does not select an advisor, the University will select an advisor to serve in this role for the limited purpose of conducting the cross-examination at no fee or charge to the party.
