If you're a student at Widener 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. Widener University 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 policy that would be applied would depend in part on the specific offense alleged.
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? Unfortunately, you should also understand that at Widener, as with all schools, the school can be in a rush to judgment and does not have an accused student's rights and interests in mind and that's why an experienced attorney-adviser can help navigate the process, can help protect an accused student's rights and interests and can potentially help allow for the most favorable outcome.
