The individual member of the Board of Regents reports to the full Board. The Board of Regents makes a determination on the case, approving or disapproving the summary suspension. An expedited investigation, prosecution and completion of regular disciplinary proceedings follow a summary suspension. This proceeding involves a full scale panel hearing, when appropriate.
