How are your student conduct standards developed, disseminated and enforced? Do students have sufficient notice of the applicable conduct standards?

It is critical that those who handle student misconduct cases are provided with the professional development necessary to comply with legal and policy requirements and to ensure a fair and consistent practice of issuing charges, gathering evidence and adjudicating decisions. Whether you are training building-level school administrators or higher education conduct review boards, INCompliance consultants can customize training that fits your audience and your goals.

Our consultants are available to investigate, adjudicate, and navigate appeals as your policies and the law may permit.
