(a) The allegations of misconduct against the respondent;

(b) The sanctions that were recommended by the conduct officer or the university disciplinary committee, if any; and

(c) A date by which any voluntarily submitted written briefs or statements must be submitted.

(a) All documents and any recordings considered by the initiating officer or the university disciplinary committee;

(b) Oral and/or written argument submitted by any party; and

(c) Additional evidence.

(3) At the conclusion of its review, the faculty appeal board shall enter an order. An initial order may be appealed and a final order may not be appealed. The written order shall include a statement of the board's decision within ten days of the conclusion of the review and information on rights of appeal, if any. In a case involving an allegation of sexual misconduct, both the respondent and any complainant shall be informed of the outcome of the review. In a case where the respondent is a minor, the board's decision may be reported to the respondent's parents or legal guardian at the discretion of the chair of the faculty appeal board.
