22 Pa. Code § 505.6. Use of evidence.

§ 505.6. Use of evidence.

The university is not bound by formal rules of evidence; however, evidence shall be inherently reliable.
   (1)  Hearsay evidence may not be used to establish a fact necessary to establish guilt or innocence in a case.
   (2)  A student’s previous disciplinary record may not be used to prove the student’s guilt in a current case but may be used to establish reputation or habit if relevant. The hearing body may consider a student’s previous disciplinary record, if the student is found guilty of violating the rules of conduct, to determine the appropriate disciplinary penalty or sanction.
