Section 505.6. Use of evidence

Latest version.

The university is not bound by formal rules of evidence; however, evidence shall be inherently reliable.
(1) Hearsay evidence may not be used to establish a fact necessary to establish guilt or innocence in a case.
(2) A student’s previous disciplinary record may not be used to prove the student’s guilt in a current case but may be used to establish reputation or habit if relevant. The hearing body may consider a student’s previous disciplinary record, if the student is found guilty of violating the rules of conduct, to determine the appropriate disciplinary penalty or sanction.

The provisions of this § 505.6 adopted December 6, 1985, effective December 7, 1985, 15 Pa.B. 4346; amended June 22, 1990, effective June 23, 1990, 20 Pa.B. 3483. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (103809) to (103810).
