"Each incident is addressed on a case-by-case basis by an independent three-person panel of faculty and staff. Under University System of Georgia policy, the panel may impose a broad range of sanctions based on its careful consideration of a variety of factors, including the nature of the offense, history of past conduct, acceptance of responsibility, weight of the evidence, and the well-being of the university community. UGA faculty and staff involved in these investigations are thoroughly trained and approach their work with the utmost respect for the lives and privacy of all individuals involved.
