NMJC will designate a single Decision-maker.
The Decision-maker will not have had any previous involvement with the investigation.
Those who have served as Investigators will be witnesses in the hearing and therefore may not serve as Decision-maker. Those who are serving as Advisors for any party may not serve as Decision-maker in that matter.
The Title IX Coordinator may not serve as a Decision-maker in the matter but may serve as an administrative facilitator of the hearing if their previous role(s) in the matter do not create a conflict of interest. Otherwise, a designee may fulfill this role. The hearing will convene at a time determined by the Decision-maker or designee.
