UWM to Hold Non-Academic Misconduct Hearing on June 8, 2025
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) is set to conduct a non-academic misconduct hearing on June 8, 2025, at 14:00 in Student Union 344. This hearing will address specific allegations of misconduct involving students, ensuring that all proceedings adhere to university regulations.
The purpose of the meeting is to thoroughly examine the case under consideration. According to UWM, the hearing may transition into a closed session. This is in accordance with Wisconsin state statutes, specifically Wis. Stat. sec. 19.85(1)(a), which allows for private deliberations concerning cases that have previously been subjected to judicial or quasi-judicial hearings. Additionally, Wis. Stat. sec. 19.85(1)(f) permits the discussion of sensitive information regarding financial, medical, social, or personal histories of individuals involved.
Concerns regarding confidentiality and the sensitive nature of the allegations have prompted UWM to consider a closed session. This decision aims to protect the privacy of those involved while ensuring that the hearing remains fair and impartial.
Abby Meddaugh, a university official, can be contacted for further inquiries regarding the hearing at [email protected] or by phone at (414) 229-4632. The university emphasizes its commitment to upholding a safe and respectful environment for all students and staff, and this hearing is part of that ongoing effort.
As the date approaches, the university community is reminded of the importance of due process in addressing misconduct allegations. The outcome of this hearing could have significant implications for the individuals involved, reinforcing UWM’s dedication to maintaining standards of conduct within its student body.
