2. If, as a result of the hearing, the University decides that the information in the files is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, the University shall amend the records accordingly and so inform the student in writing. However, if, as a result of the hearing, the University decides that the information is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of the student, it shall inform the student of the right to place in the records a statement commenting on the information in the records and/or setting forth any reasons for disagreeing with the decision of the University.
MAINTENANCE OF THE RECORD
The University reserves the right, after a three-year period, to destroy any and all records that it maintains on a student except to the extent that law requires their maintenance for a longer period of time.
The Office of Advancement will assist former students of the University in acquiring information related to their own individual record. No inquiries from outside organizations or agencies will be accepted. The Office of Advancement will also assist, where possible, former students in getting information about other students. This assistance will occur only after the student inquired about is notified.
Administrative Suspension
If, in the judgment of the Provost and/or Dean of Students, a student's behavior is disruptive to the educational process and/or a potential danger to a student and/or faculty/staff member and/or other individual in an off- campus Wesleyan educational placement (e.g. internship, practicum, or other), an administrative suspension may result.
University officials and/or employees will not release any information regarding the reasons for the administrative suspension other than verifying the status (Right to Privacy Act).
An exception will be made if the student gives written permission to disclose information regarding the suspension.
All disciplinary files and permission letters will be kept in the Office of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students or her/his designee is the only person authorized to discuss the case with anyone outside of the Univer- sity. Administrative suspensions may be made by the Dean of Students and/or the Provost.
Campus Hotline
The University provides a third-party campus hotline that all University constituents may use to report concerns. The third-party provider may be reached by calling 866/943-5787.
