The failure of any individual affiliated with a member institution to cooperate fully may itself give rise to a complaint and be grounds for a formal charge. 90.30.4.6 The investigator shall conduct the investigation in a timely manner and at the conclusion of the investigation shall provide a written report to the designate of the CIS President. 90.30.4.7 The designate of the CIS President shall, within 7 days of receiving the investigation report, consider the report and determine whether or not a formal charge should be prepared. 90.30.4.8 If the investigation has revealed additional or different breaches by any other individual(s) affiliated with the member institution against whom the complaint has been made, then the designate of the CIS President may, in his or her discretion, include these breaches in any formal charge. 90.30.4.9 If the designate of the CIS President determines that there are no grounds for a formal charge, he or she shall immediately advise the Affected Parties. At his or her discretion, the CIS President designate may levy costs of any investigation against the Complainant. 90.30.4.10 If the designate of the CIS President determines that there are grounds for a formal charge, within 7 days, he or she shall prepare the charge in writing setting out the same information as is required to be set out in a complaint under Section 90.30.3.3 of this policy. 90.30.4.11 Following preparation of the formal charge, a copy of the Record shall be sent immediately to the Affected Parties and the Discipline Committee. 90.30.4.12 Notwithstanding the forgoing sections in 90.30.4, if the formal charge prepared by the designate of the CIS President (the designate) is related to an institutions inadvertent administrative mistake or error (an administrative infraction) the designate may exempt the institution from the discipline hearing otherwise specified to take place pursuant to section 90.30.5.

Any letter of warning issued by CIS to the member institution shall require that the institution indicate to CIS precisely how the institutions administrative systems and procedures have been amended to prevent a similar administrative infraction from occurring in the future. In addition to any fine imposed, the member institution may also be levied the reasonable direct or indirect costs of the CIS Office, or any portion thereof, to resolve the matter. A copy of the Record shall be sent immediately to the Affected Parties. 90.30.5 DISCIPLINE HEARING 90.30.5.1 The Committee shall convene a discipline hearing to hear the charge and to determine what sanctions, if any, are to be imposed as soon as possible, but not more than 28 days after receiving the Record.

In addition to discussing all matters pertaining to the coordination of the discipline hearing during this conference, all questions regarding the scope of the formal charge are discussed so as to preclude the introduction of new information at the discipline hearing. The parties shall be given 14 days written notice of the time and place of the preliminary conference, and the Committee may delegate to one of its members the authority to deal with the matters of the preliminary conference. 90.30.5.3 The Committee shall conduct the discipline hearing by way of a review of documentary evidence and an oral hearing. The oral hearing may be conducted in-person or by means of telephone conference. 90.30.5.4 The Committee shall govern the discipline hearing as it sees fit, provided that: The Affected Parties shall be given 14 days written notice of the time and place of the hearing; CIS staff shall not be a voting member of the Committee; Members of the Discipline Committee who are employees of the Complainant or the Respondent shall excuse themselves from the Committee; Quorum shall be three voting members; Decisions shall be by majority vote where the Chairperson carries a vote; The hearing shall be held in private; The parties to the hearing may be accompanied by legal counsel at their sole cost; The Discipline Committee shall consider the Record and any other evidence submitted by the parties; The Discipline Committee may request that the Investigator participate in the hearing; The Discipline Committee may request that any witness, including the Complainant, be present at the hearing or submit written evidence in advance of the hearing; Should the Respondent wish not to participate in the hearing or to waive the 14 day written notice, the Respondent must provide a written statement that is signed by all individuals named in the formal charge.
