AFTER REVERSAL BY THE COURT OF APPEALS, THE EXPULSION OF PETITIONER STUDENT FOR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN VIOLATION OF THE COLLEGE’S STUDENT CODE CONFIRMED, COLLEGE APPEALS BOARD HAD THE POWER TO IMPOSE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDY INCLUDING EXPULSION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, after a reversal by the Court of Appeals, confirmed the college’s determination to expel petitioner, a student accused of sexual misconduct in violation of the student code:

… [T]he Court of Appeals agreed with us “that petitioner’s due process arguments were not preserved at the administrative level” … . To the extent that petitioner’s procedural claims go beyond those arguments, they are also unpreserved due to him either failing to raise them at the administrative hearing when they could have been corrected or failing to raise them altogether … . We accordingly focus upon the penalty of expulsion recommended by SUNY’s Appellate Board and imposed by respondent Kristen Esterberg, SUNY’s president.

Petitioner may not have been aware of the fact when he took an administrative appeal from a decision of the Hearing Board that suspended him for a semester, but the Appellate Board was empowered by article IX (C) of the student code of conduct to “alter the sanctions imposed” and punish him with “any of the [available] sanctions,” including more severe ones. Article IX misstates the student code of conduct sections dealing with the jurisdiction of the Appellate Board and the permissible sanctions, but a review of the pertinent provisions leaves no doubt that those misstatements were drafting errors that may be disregarded… . The Appellate Board chose one of the available remedies by recommending expulsion and, while no explanation was offered as to why it did so, the student code of conduct did not require one. Esterberg adopted the recommendation. Matter of Haug v State Univ. of N.Y. At Potsdam, 2018 NY Slip Op 08208, Third Dept 11-29-18
