If you're a student at Bucknell University and you're accused of misconduct, you should not speak to the school or others without taking the necessary precautions. Too much is at stake. At Bucknell University, the school will have specific policies as to how your case will be addressed and adjudicated. Understanding and successfully navigating these policies is, in part, key to success. The specific offense alleged will in part dictate which policy would apply. Will it be a Title IX sexual misconduct case, does the case involve academic integrity or an academic misconduct charge, or is it a general disciplinary issue?
You should also understand that at Bucknell, unfortunately, as with all schools, the school can be in a rush to judgment and does not have the accused student's rights and interests in mind. That's why an experienced attorney advisor can help protect an accused student's rights and interests, can help navigate the process, and can potentially help allow for the most favorable outcome.
