COLLEGE’S DISCIPLINARY DETERMINATION REGARDING A STUDENT WAS NOT SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, DETERMINATION ANNULLED AND EXPUNGED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department annulled the determination that a SUNY Buffalo student possessed weapons and engaged in harassment because of the poor quality of the proof, a seriously controverted hearsay statement:

We agree with petitioner that the record is devoid of any evidence, much less substantial evidence, to support respondent’s determination… . Instead, respondent’s determination rests exclusively on a “seriously controverted” hearsay statement, and that does not, as a matter of law, constitute substantial evidence … . We therefore annul the determination, grant the petition, and direct respondent to expunge all references to this matter from petitioner’s school record … .

We decline respondent’s invitation to remit this matter for a new hearing in light of its failure to transcribe the disciplinary hearing. Annulment and expungement is the prescribed remedy for an administrative determination that is unsupported by substantial evidence… , and it would be anomalous if respondent was afforded a new opportunity to establish petitioner’s culpability based on its own procedural error in failing to transcribe the initial hearing.  Matter of Hill v State Univ. of N.Y. At Buffalo, 2018 NY Slip Op 05104, Fourth Deptp 7-6-18
