There is no argument that some of the cases that the media reports on are worthy of judicial review – and that’s a good thing because that’s how systems improve. But it’s also important to note that in this Brown case the Judge specifically stated that the procedures Brown had in place were “not against public policy or the law.” They simply applied the wrong version of the conduct code.

Ad we also have to remember that neither the complainant nor the accused is entitled to a “perfect” hearing. Take a look at what’s happening in our judicial system.

My comment to read the policy and the DCLs was in response to some who asked questions suggesting they hadn’t.

It strikes me that here there are two paths: what the documents actually do say, and, whether we think they are adequate or even perfect. Clearly, to the latter, no, they are not. But that, alone, doesn’t change what they do say. And of course, you read various school policies, as well.
