After deliberation, the Board will excuse all parties except for voting members. The Board will determine the merit of the complaint or charge and penalty, if any, by acquiring three out of four votes. If such a vote is not obtained, the case is recorded as "no decision" and no penalty is given. Such a case may be reopened, but only if new evidence is immediately pending. In its decision, the Board strives to preserve balance among the principles of consistency with precedent, justice to individuals, and the maintenance of an academic community. | After deliberation, the Board will excuse all parties except for voting members.

They congregated outside the hallway to McClelland, passing out fliers and holding signs reading "Everyone Makes Mistakes" and "Knox Students for The Knox Student". Graham's contribution stated "Please don't fire my roommate." ([[Tom Fucoloro]]) Only a select number of students stayed through the entire trial, but many additional people stood outside for short sections of time, in support of the paper. |
