3.0 定义

3.1 Complainant – Any individual or group (e.g., faculty member, administrator, student, investigative team, etc.) who registers a complaint or files a formal charge, as permitted under PPM 9-11. 登记投诉的个人不必同时也是提出相关正式指控的个人。

3.2 Administrative Disposition – The resolution of a complaint made at any stage of the proceedings in which a responsible administrator resolves the matter with the agreement of the parties. 行政处分必须是被投诉人和投诉人都能接受的，并且必须在PPM 9-14所包含的纪律处分范围内。

3.3 Administrative Officer – A faculty member, administrator, or other individual designated by the president and confirmed by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate to represent the University during the informal and formal hearing processes. 此人应作为中立观察员，就任何诉讼中各方的正当程序向教务参议院或教务审查委员会提出建议。 这个人不必在所有情况下都是同一个人，但行政官员将继续任职，直到被替换。

3.4 Chair of the Faculty Board of Review – The individual responsible for conducting the formal hearing process. The chair receives the formal charge, conducts the prehearing conference, conducts the formal hearing, is responsible for the keeping of the records and minutes, and makes the Faculty Board of Review’s recommendation to the President.

3.5 University Legal Counsel – The lawyer assigned to the Faculty Board of Review by the Office of University Legal Counsel. 大学法律顾问将作为大学的代表，在适当的情况下，在学术正当程序的任何阶段向学院审查委员会主席提供建议。

3.6 Complaint – An informal allegation filed by a complainant to a responsible administrator of the University that a violation of University policy or procedure has allegedly occurred.

3.7 Disciplinary Action – Includes measures or sanctions which are imposed in accordance with PPM 9-11 or by the president following a formal hearing as a penalty for the violation of University standards. 本守则授权的标准和纪律处分在本文件PPM 9-14中进行了定义。

3.8 Faculty Board of Review – The Faculty Board of Review is created and functions as described in PPM 1-13, Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws. 如果投诉人是韦伯州立大学的学生，则应在教师审查委员会中增加两名学生。 学生代表将由负责学生接触和成功的副校长与学院参议院主席协商后指定。 学生代表不需要在所有情况下都是同一个人。

教师审查委员会通常从秋季学期的第一天到春季学期的最后一天运作，在夏季休息。 在休会期间，所有董事会行动截止日期将暂停至秋季学期。 学院审查委员会主席在与执行委员会主席和大学法律顾问协商后，可以暂停休会，因为他们认为对特定事项的目的是谨慎的。

3.9 Formal Charge – A concise statement of the complaint, summarizing the facts, conduct or circumstances reported to constitute failure to comply with the standards set forth in PPM 9-14, submitted in writing by the complainant to the chair of the Faculty Board of Review.

3.10 Formal Hearing – Conducted by the Faculty Board of Review as set forth in PPM 9-12, Formal Hearing. 这次听证会的职能是听取和评估证据，并向总统提出采取适当行动的建议。

3.11 独立的决策者——独立的决策者是指一个人或一个机构根据客观的评估做出决定，而不是基于个人偏见。 假定决策者在其职责范围内行事是公正的，这种假定可以通过大量显示实际不适当的个人偏见来克服。 仅与投诉人或被投诉人有过前科，不能排除推定。

3.12 Informal Conciliatory Process – The process the responsible administrator conducts to resolve a complaint in accordance with PPM 9-11.

3.13 Prehearing Conference – A meeting held after a formal charge has been filed with the chair of the Faculty Board of Review. 在这次由主席发起和主持的会议上，界定了将在正式听证会上审查的问题。

3.14 Preliminary Investigation – A fact-finding activity conducted following the receipt of a complaint to assist the responsible administrator in making determinations about what further actions may be appropriate as per PPM 9-11.

3.15 Procedural Due Process – Refers to the receiving of adequate notice, right to an impartial forum, meeting of deadlines, completion of committee assignments and deliberative actions in accordance with established policies and other procedural matters, many of which are outlined in PPM 9-9, Due Process, General Statement. 一般来说，当证据的优势表明在遵循既定程序时采取了合理的谨慎态度时，程序上的正当程序将被视为已经提供。 在各委员会和行政人员的工作中采取合理的谨慎态度（考虑到紧急情况和未预料到的问题），就足以满足程序性正当程序的要求。 因此，只有不符合程序准则的不利情况才被视为建议排练的理由。

3.16 Reasonable Care – The level of performance recognized in the profession as reasonable in light of obligations one has assumed, competing demands upon energy and time, the nature and quality of the work and all other circumstances which the academic community, after being fully informed, would properly take into account in determining whether the respondent was discharging responsibilities at an acceptable performance level.

3.17 Representative – Any individual selected by the respondent to attend the informal conciliatory process or the formal hearing, including counsel, if desired.

3.18 Respondent – A tenured or tenure-track faculty member against whom a complaint has been made or a formal charge has been issued.

3.19 Responsible Administrator – The person who receives or is otherwise delegated to review a complaint about an individual’s alleged non-compliance with standards identified in PPM 9-14. 主管行政人员可以是系主任、院长助理或副院长、院长、副校长或其他指定的大学行政人员。 如果负责的行政人员不是院长、副院长或助理院长或系主任，教务长应任命负责的行政人员。 此人负责对投诉进行初步调查，并进行非正式调解程序。 责任管理人对被申请人可以有行政管辖权，也可以没有行政管辖权。
