IN THIS COLLEGE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, THE COLLEGE’S REFUSAL OF THE STUDENT’S REQUEST FOR A THREE-HOUR ADJOURNMENT TO ALLOW HIS ATTORNEY TO ATTEND WAS AN ABUSE OF DISCRETION, NEW HEARING ORDERED (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, reversing the Appellate Division in this college disciplinary action, determined the student’s request for a three-hour adjournment to allow his attorney to attend should have been granted. The link to the reversed 2nd Department decision is here:

… [T]he petition insofar as it sought to annul respondents’ disciplinary determination [is] granted and the matter remitted to the Appellate Division with directions remand to respondents for a new disciplinary hearing. Petitioner, a student enrolled at respondent Purchase College of the State University of New York, was accused of multiple disciplinary violations including sexual assault of another student. Petitioner requested a three-hour adjournment of his scheduled administrative hearing so that his attorney could attend the proceeding. Respondents denied this request. Under the particular circumstances of this case, we find respondents abused their discretion as a matter of law by failing to grant the requested adjournment … . Matter of Bursch v Purchase Coll. of the State Univ. of N.Y., 2019 NY Slip Op 04449, CtApp 6-6-19
